Cutting thru all this; it would be nice if folks would publish a lower
shifter measurement between the center of the lower ball and the bottom of
the fulcrum (half a hemisphere or half a "ball") on the shift lever. This is
where any difference would have to be.
Please do keep in mind that shifter levers get switched for various reasons,
often to change the leverage-to make the "throw" shorter. There are known
folks on the list and elsewhere that have installed three speed shift levers
on four speed trans cars, etc. Others are known to have modified shifters to
move the fulcrum "ball" on the shifter so the effective leverage is changed
.....
This would require a different height cast "tower" or base. All of the ones
I have ever seen, including at least two Corsas and one Monza, are the same
height (2nd owner of the Monza and knew the previous owner-stock shifter,
etc.).
So be careful out there, in making your pronouncements
