Default anyone running a hurst shifter on the ax-15?

Does the stick that comes for the wrangler kit fit correctly with the xj dash/seating locations?

well, I installed the actual shifter today (not just a **** or T handle) and all I can say is, boy, why did I not do this as one of the first mods!?
It no longer feels like rowing a boat with a rubber oar.
My hand can actually keep up with my foot now, and it snicks from gear to gear with an actual metalic feel... like you are shifting actual gears rather than moving rubber around inside the case.
The shift lever is a bit too far toward the passenger side for my liking, so, tomorrow I will attach the stick to the drivers side of the shift actuator, and, maybe even bend the stick a bit to be more similar to the contorted stock stick.
