its relatively common for that to happen on both 4th and 5th gens. Use a dremel to cut the plastic off the front of the shift boot frame.

Normal, especially if it has different settings like my short shifter. If you use the top hole on mine you have to trim the console and I've only had two people say they had to trim a tad on the middle setting.

What company? I heard the lean racing short shifter doesn't hit at all and has clean throws.

He has a 4gen, not a 5gen, and even then Lean isn't even making them anymore I don't think.

Trim it now, because mine is now cracked all the way through because I didn't trim it.

I have a DC on my '92 and it eventually broke a piece of the console. I wrote and called to DC after it happened and they said it was just my car........
