could be the angle, but I think you're right, they probably shortened the shaft. It won't affect throws though - the throw could still be very short even with a long shift lever.
Anybody who lives in the south will know what I’m talking about… You know, when you get in the car after it’s been toasting in the sun for a while and it’s like 120 inside… Have you tried to hold the shifter knob ball for more than 2 seconds? It will burn the skin of the palm of your hand!!! Now, how the hell (I guess that’s an appropriate word in this context) are we suppose to shift gears when it’s so damn hot?!
Just a revelation… wonder if anybody else thought of this?
This is going to sound dumb, but you can cover the shift knob with a sock or something...
