Do you have to cut stuff using the B&M short shifter?

No, I don't have a short shifter. The gap occurs cause of the way the Momo knobs attach - they're not screwed on, they have that base plate that covers the 3 allen screws that tighten the knob. Unfortunately, due to the washer built onto the shifter, you can't move it down any further to accomodate, at least, not unless you get a momo shift boot or something like that.

Is this one the same as the one blue rocket posted?



I kinda like the silver top better than the black top.

I got a momo raptor. It raised the height considerably but **** is this thing comfortable. I bought it when I had my tints, so the shop did the install and it doesn't come loose at all

I moved it down so the knob actually didn't sit that high, but that's just how it'd look if you were interested.
I think that looks very nice.....how did you "move it down" so it didn't sit high?

I have no gap and no short shifter. I don't think adding a short throw would change the gap.

The gap is purely because of the design of the shift knob. You just don't tighten as high up on the thread to get it lower. The only surefire way to kill the gap is to get a Momo shift boot. I think the one pictured in the one above might be a Momo boot..
