Couple shots from the backseat, couple in 1st and 6th gears, couple from the side.

I measure 2 and 3/8" of travel, which is 60mm.

It's got the alcantara boot, it had the SSK knob before I sold it, and it has a throw in between Dackel's numbers posted above. BUT... I have a different shift knob on it, and if that knob is taller, maybe it was more like 55mm before I changed it? I measured the movement of the top center of the knob.

If my knob is a little taller than the original that came with the kit, it would appear I have an N54 shifter on my N55. And if I do, it is without any freaky orientation that everyone seems to worry about.

Guess the question is - is my current knob taller than the one that came with the kit?
