Default Did i put it on backwards??

Was installing the Pro 5.0 Power Tower yesterday, and after I put my console back on, it seemed as if it leaned too much towards the passenger side. When i put it in reverse, it literally scrapes up against the console. I figured where it says Pro 5.0 Would go facing me, but i had to reverse it, for it to fit. Anyone else got this shifter??

The "Pro 5.0" lettering should be upside down if you're looking at it from the driver's seat. What stick do you have on there? A short stick for the stock shifter (straight), or do you have the angled stick that came with the Pro 5.0?

Mine is also leaning towards the passenger side. I also questioned it but it seems to work fine. It almost touches the passenger side of the boot.

I would think it would lean towards me too, but it doesnt. I have the WS6store. short stick.

There's your problem right there. You're using a stick for the stock hurst (straight stick). The Pro 5.0 shifter requires a stick with a bend in it towards the driver's side, it's about a 30 degree angle bend.

Yeah, I figured it out, I got Lou's Short Stick on the way, with a 25 degree bend in it. Thanks for all the input guys.
