I just purchased one of they ebay short shifters ($49) for the boxster. Everything installed really well, however, the black spring that attaches to the right cable end now drags against the base of the center console area. When installed with the stock shifter, the cable and spring somewhat floated in the air but the short shifter has a longer base and is causing hang ups. When shifting from 3rd to 4th the spring gets caught, compresses, and unhooks the cable end.
What is the fix for this? Here is the area I'm talking about
