LOl well I already have the MGW as you can see in my sig. I have it angled alittle towards me and maybe if I move the handle more to the centerline of the console that might help but I had a look and think about it and I doubt it would.

I don't have to REALLY lean forward when I palm the shifter or anything but I have to stretch out my arm quite a bit

im only 5' 9" and if i sit like I used to in my old Lancer or Silverado....i damn hear hit my head on the roof. I have to lean the seat way back and sit up some...only using the bottom half of the seat back. I have know problems shifting though.

I want a short shifter as I feel the distance between 1st - > 2nd is about the same as it was in my Silverado...and that bitch had a 3 foot shift handle.

Something like that would be great except I use an MGW and they only have one size handle. Wow if they make like 2 sizes then that would be great or at least some kind of extension adaptor.
