Re: short shifter problem (9hatch6)
the short shifters position of the ball and the end point where you put the bolt in might be a little longer and the linkage is sitting a little bit low, find a short throw shifter made for your setup and maybe that'll solve you're problem. If you get a new exhaust it'll be the same and keep tapping your exhaust.

Re: short shifter problem (9hatch6)
i had a civic that i put a shifter on and it done the same thing. Is the part of the shift linkage that is behind the shifter, it should be about two inches long. I just cut of the end of it. thats if that is the part that is hitting it.

I am not sure about how to fix the tapping but as far as getting another exhaust I dont *think* this would make it any better. Chances are the new exhaust will be larger diameter piping and that would create more of a problem. Of course it all depends on the specifics of how things line up etc etc. Just somehting to think about.

Re:
we it can be fixed with new exhaust. I worked as a welder in a shop before and the welder can bend the pipe with a machine to easily fixed that problem. trust me on this. BUT also make sure the shifter is made for your car. IF not then get a new one. A decent one will cost you 40 bucks at kragen and it works good
