Ok i just bought and TWM shifter and installed it last night it feels great but when shifting into 1st, 3rd, and 5th my fingers hit the dash unless i hold the shiftknob just at the sides did i do something wrong or what? i didn't use the round plate that came with it because i couldnt find a place for it and it works with out it. any help would be nice and thanks in advance

i dont have any probs with mine. i dont put my hand there when im shifting to 1st, 3rd or 5th though, i hold it on the side and the rear.but it seems to be fine. i have a problem with mine just hitting the e-brake when shifting to 5th and reverse though. (RHD)

I brought a long aftermarket knob. So your hand is higher.

IMO that starts to undo the point of having a ss cause that makes it a longer shift or it feels like it when put a longer knob on but eh still shorter then stock lol

I just put in my TWM and noticed touching of the front of the shift area, but not hitting, or enough to hurt.
