Hey, anyone out there feel their short throw shifter sits too far forward for comfort? When I get mine I'm wondering if there is a modified version or an adapter or something that can be put on it to bring the handle back farther/closer to the driver. I guess I'm worried because when I did test drives before I bought my 02 there was one stang that had a short shifter and it sat way too far forward. Anyone hear of an adapter or would I have to modify it myself?

my Steeda tri-ax sits right for me, not to forwar not to much posterior, just right, is great, quick short throw, I love it. If you are a dwarf, it may be a problem....too forward for you.

just machine yourself a new handle with a different angle that off sets it further to the back of the car <IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0"></P>

hmmm, no, no one has tossed me lately. I'm 6' with standard length arms. Maybe this is a better way to approach this. The stock shifter sits in just about the right place for my comfort. Any farther forward and I think I'd be reaching a little. How was the stock one for you and how different is the short throw placement?</P>

the stock one is too damn long first, too "loose" and with a long throw......I'm telling you , it is a huge difference..........

i always hear of the pro 5.0's being too far forward so they switch to a tri-ax handle and leave the pro 5.0 base

Interesting...the handles just unscrew or unbolt and the other one fits?</P>

pretty sure, but id ask someone who has done it. actually there's the "kona" shifter which is cheaper i think, but it has the pro 5.0 base and a tri-ax-like handle and i think its a little cheaper than the other two

I really want the one that is going to feel the best shifting and if I have to bring it back a little by modifying that's ok. I'm usually not happy with a cheap feel or look.
