4spd short sticks

It gets to close to the dash for me. Bashing your knuckles on the dash is no fun. To much of a reach in 4th too. So I put a bent stick on there. I think the bent back sticks look the best. But thats just me.

I think that is what I want to do. The stick in mine is pressed in I think. (I need to find my camera so I can start posting pics) Is there any way to get it out if it does not have the bolts on the side?
