If the gearshift is the same as a TR8 one, just grind off the spot welds 
holding the shaft into the base, cut off as much of the length as you want from 
the non-threaded end and reinstall by either re-spot welding or just drill and 
bolt the shaft to the base.

Folks at world,

My 1970 MGB has an SD1 gearbox installed with a Rover V8 engine.   The gear 
stick sticks up rather high and I remember reading somewhere that it should 
be cut down.  Anyone have advice on this?  What is the height of an MGB 
stick above the tunnel face (not the console!)?

Regards
