Just to update this. My current setup is the Shift Solutions "tear drop" knob, Boomba bushings, Whoosh shift plate. I did order the Coolerworx shifter though and waiting on delivery. Ill probably run with the Coolerworx knob for a little but i dont like metal knobs so it will get swapped out at some point.
The 2" extension worked but it gave a vague centering feel while pushing the car. Missed the 2-3 shift a few times leaving me wondering if the stock length worked better. Swapped back and found its easier to find that 2-3 shift with the shorter length.
