You can install your short shifter and retrofit the lever later, they are two separate parts so you don’t have to get both
I’d say, get a feel for the shifter before, then install the lever after and enjoy even more !
I’ll get the production started without problem... the only problem is that I’ll have 200 of them ahah !

Thanks guys!
Ben.

Does the console have to be removed to add the improved lever ? I am trying to avoid removing the console multiple times if possible .

I think it does, but I'm not 100% certain. I looks like the short shift lever will also have to come out to get the blue ball ended shaft out of the old white block, unbolt that piece and bolt the new piece in! When I did mine, I bought a spare shifter from Woody and put the short shifter together on that so it was already to go before I took the console out. This time I'll need to take it all apart to get this piece in.

Yes the console will definitely have to come out.

Ben can you give us some information on the new lever? Is it less of a short shifter, more mechanical advantage? What Porsche lever distances did you model it from? Would I be able to retro fit my B+M lever or Porsche SSK; put into the B+M metal frame? Will it only fit into your ball bearing shifter frame?

What is the nature of the L-shape? Which way is it bent? I find the 9X6 cars have the lever moving way to close to the console in the rear gate gears. My elbow hits the console....hand is crammed
