The NST SSK and NST SSK-2 are specifically designed in order to NOT lower the heigh, or change the position, of the shift knob inside the car.

If you can reach the shift knob in your car right now, and want to have shorter throws, then the NST SSK or NST SSK-2 are the perfect options for you!

Must agree. I had just the first SSK and it was fine. But then when I added the SSK-2 there was a noticeable difference in the "odd" gears (1st, 3rd, 5th) in that they didn't had to push so forward to the point that I would hit the a/c switch But....if after all that you still want a tighter fit. I would elect for the metal shifter link bushings. They replace the rubber bushings and decrease any play in the connection. That'll make it the shifter VERY tight.

Oh, BTW, the metal shifter link bushings are from NST and are available at MicroImage!
