    It varies, so its best to measure it out yourself. Figure it should be around 2 inches, but no car is the same

              I used a e30 B&M short shifter and I didn't have to modify anything. ALL the stock (e30) parts fit perfectly.

              The shift lever isn't totally centered in the body hole but, you can't tell with the boot on.

                Are you using the older metal plate shifter housing or the newer cast aluminum one?
                With the older metal plate shortened, you can use oem selector rod of iirc e23 or as long as it's length about 15mm.

                  Its going to depend on what transmission you are using, is it the metal shifter or the aluminum one and the motor mounts. I didn't have to modify mine. Yess!!

                    My g265 sheet metal shifter:



                    The front bolts directly to the box and works great.

                    Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.
