Cut it down, and retap the stick

Ha I think mines too low and want it next to my steering wheel. But need short throws first

unless the gear knob is too high, i bought the car with an aftermarket gear knob so i dont really know tbh,

There isn't a right or wrong just more of what you like.

Run an m12 down the stick before you cut it,its easier this way,i cut about 2 1/2 - 3 inches off and finished it off with a gaiter from ebay and a mk2 golfball knob,bit more force needed to get it over to fitfh as shorter stick has less leaverage but im use to it so no biggie

I want to do this! I've got a corrado cable shifter, I'm thinking about mounting on top of the tunnel so it should sit level with the wheel. Then make an ally box around to make it look a bit nicer

That sounds like a great idea!!

Did this to a mk1 not so long ago ,nice high stick and the alloy box that normally sits under the car doesnt look to out of place,no need to hide it,looks well hard
