You can order a different shift **** if you want, i am sure you could find a T handle somewhere.

I'm thinking about doing something like that... I'm not sure though, I sorta like the ball look but at the same time that T handle looks comfortable. I'm going to mess with the height of the shifter tomorrow to see if that helps with the shifts because it feels like I have no leverage.

[/align] [/align]Any short shifter decreases the amount of "leverage", that's how they make the throw shorter. The shift rod travel and side-to-side throw in the tranny are fixed distances, and an aftermarket shifter shortens the travel at the shift **** through a combination of raising the fulcrum and shortening the lever--both of which reduce leverage and increase the force required to shift, that's just the way it is.[/align] [/align]Raising the **** will increase the leverage and reduce the amount of effort required to move between gears, the **** stud on the MGW is rather long (I have actually cut mine down 5/8" or so) and using spacers under the **** will raise it and reduce the effort. [/align] [/align]There isn't much adjustment the handle itself, maybe 1/4" tops and even if raised by just that amount you would be reducing the contact area of the handle clamp by 15% or so--not recommended.[/align]
