Shift **** suggestion?

I was wondering if there are manual shift ***** that sits an inch or less lower than the stock ****. I think a **** that sits just a little lower will be more comfortable for overall shifting. Any ideas?

Nismo leather (screw/thread on).
Momo short anatomical or RaceAir leather (set screws).

i got a pretty good deal from everythingg35.com I think its called, but they ship from the Infiniti of Scottsdale, Arizona. Anyway I ordered a pretty sweet black leather Nismo Shift **** that just screwed on and it sits a little lower than the original I had on, its real tight. It was like $35 and I paid $15 for the express shipping. Well worth-it

How much lower would you estimate it sits? Can you link me to the ****?

Nismo leather sits at least 3/4" lower than a stock 4th gen ****.

Is this it? If it is, does the price look right? Also, how does the **** feel, comfortable?

Yeah, id be interested in a shift **** that is smaller in height. I dont like the feeling of short throw shifters...some may disagree with me but it is a personal preference. The stock shifter height is a little high for me, i was thinking of cutting the stock shift **** and re-threading it, but it is probably too much work for something so minor. And it would increase shifter effort, because youd have less leverage. Atleast i think it would.

That is the one. I think that it felt pretty comfortable, and it sits nice and low. It has an 80's sports car retro feel. I bought it to go in my wife's '00 SE, but we traded it in. I have a 350z/G35 **** in my car. It is low and weighted, and in my opinion, the perfect shift ****- stock or aftermarket. That is why I sold the Nismo and kept the 350 ****.

That has been discussed at length (no pun intended) in the past.

Ebay is blocked at my work, so if you could post a pic of the **** I could tell you. I personally don't like driving a short-throw shifter all the time, I'll say its sweet but I like it how I have it stock.
