I wouldn't waste your time with a short throw. A cut stock unit is basically the same thing. I'd take out the center console, eliminate the rubber base bushings and just use washers, don't need anything fancy. Also, make sure the pivoting assembly is tight and doesn't have any play. Just look at it as you shift around to the different positions with the center console/boot out. If you see some weird movement that shouldnt be there, you may need to replace bushings, I believe you can get them from Mitsubishi. Or just find someone parting a car out with a good shifter assembly. Could just be some loose bolts down there too.

I wouldn't be surprised either that your car grinds. I've never had a DSM that doesn't grind at least a bit in certain gears in certain situations.
Yeah, I was thinking about practicing my flexibility skills and adjusting the MC rod. Can someone tell me what size that nut is? I'll have to go out and buy a wrench since all my tools are 2 hours away haha.

I'll start with adjusting the the MC rod, and throw some washers on there too. Thanks for the feedback.
