actually its quite a bit shorter than stock....perfect height imho...no more banging your hands into the stereo...it really is a bit shorter than stock...and the throws it actually takes to shift it are amazingly shorter....
the adapter plate has to be a certain thickness,and be able to have the bolts go through it...and the center hole has to be a certain size...the wood i used is plenty strong..and the shifter is solidly mounted...so the wood is just as good as using metal or anything else imo...it works great...
the bolt plate will not work as the adaptet plate...
