Well I mean use the longer bolts as "legs" to raise the entire tower up!!



I knew what you meant. Instead of a plate, have 4 sets of washers acting as the spacer. I guess it could work, but I'd feel safer with a plate (that whole contact area and me with my hard shifting at the track).



once again no it WILL NOT work...trust me i was one of the first on here to install this shifter...the center of the shifter base has to be supported...it will slide out of the base if it is not supported...a riser plate is necessary...with a hole in the plate big enough to allow the shifter to move through the gears,but not too large to allow the shifter to slide out of the base...

go take your stock shifter out,and see for yourself...washers to make the extra space WILL NOT work....

and once again for you '98 and '99 owners...you DO NOT have to get a seperate plate...the plate that the shifter bolts thread into can easily be used for the riser plate...you will just need 4 longer bolts with nuts....i will do a detailed write up of this install method soon..i will try and post up a couple pics as well...

i hope that someone gets these riser plates made,and it will make it easier on everyone to install..but if not my method has worked for me for over a year with no problems..
