to original poster, if you have either the single bend OR dual bend, having it closer to the center console is backwards for either shifter. turn it around so its closer to you, not the console. i've got a B&M Edge short shifter and this thing is great. its a straight shifter, absolutely NO BENDS. been thinkin of goin with the B&M Dual Bend to put the shifter a little closer to the driver. since mine has no bends at all, it actually positioned the shift knob about 3 inches closer to the center console when in neutral.
