Default Raise gearstick closer to steering wheel

Hi All.

Just a quicky.... My gearstick sits a little low for my liking. Its a focus MTX gearstick without lift reverse (5speed), fitted in my mk4 fiesta.

I have to reach too far for it and want to raise it - but i dont want to extend the throw. Looked at CAE shifters but just cant justify the price.

Anyone heard of a way to raise the tower, extend the shaft (ooh-err) and shift the pivot ball so that the throw ends up the same?



Thanks in advance.

you can just make a mount to raise the standard one up. so raise the whole assembly up on a stand.
