Yo

i had same issue's and only way to fix is to go to an exhaust place
get them to heat the exhaust pipe and shift it over a bit all fixed
and since then ive fixed 2 of my mates cars same prob
now we just lol about the stupid things
cos we all thought that it was us or dud cheap part
oh and i even emailed the complaints dept at the factory
and they also told me same thing heat n bend exhaust ..lol email came back 1 week after i worked it out

the problem is that to shorten the shift pattern you must make the bottom half longer on the stick

[kraftycuts]

ohh... definately LOL! haha. i thought the same, i was getting pissed cause it didnt fit and thought i got gipped! well i guess ill be off to the nearest exhaust place to do the bending.
do you know how much this will cost at all?

[MRGRIM]

they should only chrge you bout $20 or so dollars aint much cos they just got to heat n bend a monkey could do it

i didnt have this problem with mine, it was an ebay shifter that cost me 50 shipped. i have an after market exhaust which might help. my delema is that it rattles like a bitch when im driving. i even have a aftermarket bushing kit installed
