Ledge, thanks for the pics.
I believe your engine sits a bit further back and you are able to take advantage of the 6 or 7 inches that the Rip Shifter moves it forward. The CR's do need the mod and need to ake advantage of the forward shifter location, otherwise the gear stick comes out aroudn your elbow.
At least I think that is what I learnt from a BBQ last night. Many things were discussed and this was one of them.
