Problem with installing short shifter

The bottom of the shifter is hitting this little bump on the chasis (hard to explain without picture) and won't go to 1st, 3rd and 5th gear. I need approximately 1/4-3/8 inch more clearance. I am already considering buying another shifter (this one was very cheap) but here is a thought: What would happen if I placed 1/4 (3/8) inch spacers under the whole (white plastic) shifter assembly and lifted it up?? Would it negatively affect anything? This post has been edited by conus00: Apr 10, 2010 - 8:38 PM -------------------- '94 ST
