Blink,

If your shifter leans to the left, then you have the same short shifter I have.

When I took my car to Imagine Auto thay noticed it and fixed it.
The short shifter that leans to the left is made for right hand cars. you have to remove it and turn it around.

They did it for me and now my stick is straight again

Yeah about that.....

The eBay short shift kits are supplied by Top Speed, recently they redesigned the shaft bolt(?) to were you can't flip the shaft anymore.

So it's stuck leaning to the left.

Sorry to hear that.

I did not mind the lean to the left. But after I fixed it I was glad I did.

Does Top Speed offer any ideas on fixing it??
If not they should let buyers know about the lean.

Got any pictures? I'm sure there's a way around that "problem".

leaning to the left? damn glad mine doesn't do that. spend a little more $ and get the schnell or maxspeed shifter. i got mine from ebay too, but from the maxspeed retailer. saw some cheaper ones on ebay for $50 but decided to spend that extra $30-40 and get a brand i've heard of and trust

short shifter is a must pretty much on any car, but on the box the stock one is just wayy too sloppy and long.
glad u like it

i wouldn't call it a performance mod, but the sound did improve greatly.
