Default Anybody have a short stick

Was looking at the ws6store and saw the short stick it looks cool and all but it says if your car didn't come with a hurst shifter or if you dont have an aftermarket one it might hit the console trim? Anybody experience that?

Yes, I have the stock shifter and a WS6 short stick and it does hit the right side of the console trim when going into 6th and Reverse. I have thought about adding a washer or 2 to move it to the left just a tad, but haven't done it yet.

I'd just put a pro 5.0 in there and call it a day rather than dealing w/ all that. Or the washer idea sounds pretty good if you don't want to change it.

I have the WS6Store short stick, and it doesn't hit. But I also have a C6 shifter.

Not the best picture but:

I have a pretty decent-gifted long stick, can't call it stock.....it gets in the way and hits rear view mirror..... had to replace radio twice because of an incident...

I bought a short stick from WS6store a couple yrs ago, and it was 6in. I'm pretty sure sure they offer 2 different lengths.
