Ok i just bought and TWM shifter and installed it last night it feels great but when shifting into 1st, 3rd, and 5th my fingers hit the dash unless i hold the shiftknob just at the sides did i do something wrong or what? i didn't use the round plate that came with it because i couldnt find a place for it and it works with out it. any help would be nice and thanks in advance

hmmmm you just have really fat hands
but then again my hands are big but skinny
so thats a "just you" type of issue i'm fine with mine clearance is good
i even had switches right there that stuck outta the dash .5-1" and was still fine
ha ha funny funny i have an injection control unit there and i have a pistol grip shift knob that sticks out i guess thats the only thing making me hit how close does ur hand get?
not sure havn't driven it in like 6 months almost
but what i did was place the switches else where and now i'm
putting 3 back right there
i'll take a pick tomorrow when i work on the car of how close my hand is
i dont have any probs with mine. i dont put my hand there when im shifting to 1st, 3rd or 5th though, i hold it on the side and the rear.but it seems to be fine. i have a problem with mine just hitting the e-brake when shifting to 5th and reverse though. (RHD)
IMO that starts to undo the point of having a ss cause that makes it a longer shift or it feels like it when put a longer knob on but eh still shorter then stock lol
luckily i have small hands so this doesnt happens to be but before when i kept my cell phone in that pocked right infront of it my hand would hit it so now i have it sitting on top of the ash tray lid.
I just put in my TWM and noticed touching of the front of the shift area, but not hitting, or enough to hurt.
its all in how u hold the shifter when shifting. i dont have any issues with mine, but ive had it for a while now so im used to it.
