Default MGW Shifter - Adjustments

So i've had the mgw shifter now for over 2months and its great. Now i just want to fine tune it for daily driving. Just curiuos how everyone else has theirs setup. How high you have the handle, how short your throws are set too, and just any tips for tricks to get the most out of the shifter. Only problem so far is my wife has a heck of a time finding first, she goes into 3rd alot. I dont have a problem so i donno. I did adjust the bracket the handle hooks too, i angled it towards the passengers seat to sorta give it a little more leverage into first (thanks mike for that idea).

No one else really drives my car. I have it at the shortest throw, and the shortest height. I love it, no issues shifting. Occasionally I might put it in 3rd when waiting at a light, but thats just my laziness.

i think mind is setup about half way as far as the length of the throws and the handle is about stock height. Love your car Stoenr
