Must b the camera angle yup, they are in-line down the centerline of the car. I’m using the tranny tunnel itself as the alignment, and locking component.
The new one will be vertically lower than the original slightly, and will have a shorter overall height, but the connection points will be on the same plane vertically and horizontally.
Like I said, I wanted a smaller throw when all this was worked out. Nice tight shifts for spirited cornering, hehehe.
