Default B&M vs. Skunk2 short shifter...which one sits lower?

My skunk2 makes the shift linkage hit the exhaust a little. It rattles sometimes on the freeway. Anyone know if a B&M will make the linkage sit higher up?

Try replacing the bushings. Mine has brand new bushings and it sits great. It's a B&M shifter tho.

could be worn hella bad and sagging down but i doubt it. im gonna say the bm sits lower cause doesnt it reduce the throw more than the skunk one? it feels like it.

Apparently the B&M reduces throw by 49% on a rex...

Check this thread i made a while back to see if this may be your rattling problem.

B&M doesn't come with bearings, it mounts the exact same way as the OEM one.
