With the remote factory lever removed, don't you lose spring plate that centres the shifter into the 3-4 plane when you knock it up out of 2nd or down from 5th?

My chassis doesn't allow for the shifter to be mounted directly to the box like Mike's mod so we're working on grafting the remote setup forwards the position displayed above. It will point backwards instead of hanging off the back of the box. I've also bought a short shift kit (eg, Harrop style) that should remove some of the factory vagueness.
