I installed my RennShifter last night (& wrapped up this a.m. - didn't have a 7/32'nd hex). Very nice product and the installation was super simple, at least if you've ever played with the shifter assy before. Plus my car has no interior or console or passenger seat so the access is fantastic.
Anyways, the only small glitch is that there's a bit of interference with the clutch tube on the left side of the tunnel when going for 4th or 5th gear. I can get it in gear OK but it's definitely making a little contact. What's the preferred way to push/bend the tube for clearance? I don't want to kink or break it, obviously. Can I just kinda pry on it with a screwdriver or something? Or would it be better to try to clamp it out of the way with an adel clamp kind of thing? The shifter feels great (in the garage).

I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the tube out of the way so a made a 3mm thick spacer that sits under the shift unit and spaces it up so that it clears the tube. The shifter makes it far more civilized to drive. I also fabricated a new shift lever because I sit on the other side of the car and the shift was too far away. In the end it turned out great.
