Anyone who has this shifter and installed it can u tell me what a good height to set the ball at? I want short throws when I shift so I know to raise the ball up. Any pointers or tips when installing this?

If you're looking for a short shifter this is NOT it, I have it in my track car but not for the short shifter feel I have mine extended 70% of the max. Reason being the distance your hand travels from the steering wheel to shifter is reduced thus you can get your hand back faster. Pointless on a b/d series street car considering it's 180$

I love the shifters as well… but unless you just can't stand the other ones $180 is a lot for something that does the same thing as a $50 B&M … unless you just want a tall shifter like me

short shifter's won't destroy synchro's neither will an extended one, before the k-tuned one I had a skunk2 one came with the car personally I like the oem high dual bend one in a street car.
