Like the title says... Thanks guys
Here 'ya go...do I win anything??? It's a great feeling shifter, with an outstanding grip. However, if you have small hands, it isn't for you!

This is maybe the best pic I have. This is the 3rd vehicle I have put this same shift knob in. I love it.

I had to cut mine down and drill out the hole and just tighten the hell out of the set screw. I always missed even with the MGW short throw. I will take pics tonight and post.
Notice how tall the all are.

Wow, my blue handle is alot shorter than all those. Sorry dont have a camera right now. One thing I gotta say though, I'm getting rid of my gripper. I like it but I've had it for a little over a year and the texture is pretty much gone on the rubber and the friggin thing leaves my hand black all the time. I don't know if its the rubber or the pewter (I have the cobra emblem) but its kinda gross.

Here is mine, I think it must be an older version or something.
I had to cut about 3/4" of an inch off the bottom, drill out until I almost poked thru the top. Then I just tightened my set screw.
Doesn’t look much shorter on the picks but I bet it is close to an 1"

+1 on the black crap, It gets old explaining why my right palm is always black

wow thanks for all the responses guys. I have a Tremec TKO-500 with the stock TKO shifter and its a pretty low short shifter. This might give me just the little bit of height need on it.
