        good to know about the reverse bang.. I wonder if the console over can be adjusted over.

        and maybe there's adjustment available to the rear mount?



        (all trans and engine mounts are fresh as well)

          The AKG doesn't hit, and if you were to make a shift gate for it at the stock console height, like I said it wouldn't work. It'd have to be basically an oval shape. The throw is so short.

          Might be able to do it though with a stock setup but it might be a pain if you don't get it just right and it binds or hits. Cardboard template would be a cheap test solution.

            what makes a DTM shifter so? does it not pivot like regular shifters? idk see why he cant just make the plate and swap it for the shift boot. but thats because i dont get this. can someone explain? not a spoon fed meal, just curious.

              The DTM shifter gets hard-mounted to the top of the transmission tunnel.



              This is great in terms of anti-slop since all stock shift "carrier" hardware is eliminated. It's the carrier hardware that wears and gets so sloppy over time.

              In terms of your question, the pivot point is raised "upward" from stock with the DTM to the top of the transmission tunnel. That pivot point brings it very close to the console. Because of the shorter distance, the gear lever arm essentially doesn't "travel much" through the plane of where the console is. Hence, it doesn't move enough to cause a discernible pattern via which a "gate shifter plate" could be used.

                thanks. this was a perfect explanation.
                sucks that it wouldn't work out. I'd love to have one because of the patterns you'd be able to out on it.
