sure trying to make a short ahifter? or do you have a **** that is to tall for the shift leather boot to reach? I had that happen with a FD and just cut it down after the owner asked me to do it. It worked fine still and the throw is the same.

Suds had the top part of his S5 shift lever break clean off.
So about 1 inch of the rod was sticking out, and he put an aftermarket **** on that.

Yeeeehhh

The only trap is most aftermarket ***** have undersize set screws.
That can be fixed by tapping them out for a larger set screw.

That's a short piece of heater hose to seal the boot.
