I know a guy that can make you a tall shift knob... Won't help with the broken shifter part, but hey.
Old ball
New stick
Newer stick that's in the mail...
I'm gonna go with a 'Teg dual bend shifter and an old school Hurst Pistol Grip this time.
The dual bend will set it back closer to me and the pistol grip should give me the extra height I want.
We'll see.
