Default Shifter knob replacement - more 'forward lean' ?

Knobs getting worn out and ugly. I also always wondered if there was a mod I could do to get the knob forward about and in toward the dashboard as from time to time my right elbow hits the side of my seat when going into 2nd and 4th gear. Would also make what I call lazy finger shifting easier lol.

Thanks....

These aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (we’ll, the shifters are definitely not the average shifter), but they do allow you to move the shifter to wherever you’d like:

I personally have the Suzuka piece and a Daytona shifter, but I haven’t installed them yet.

Just save your time and money and get the password JDM type 2 shift knob. Its small and stubby. Has 1-6 on it. I got the plastic one and everyone when they get into my car they think i have a short throw^ had the same issue previously. With this shift knob i can use my fingers and get it in whatever gear i need. Usually my arm doesnt come off the rest

I have one similar to the link below mounted on my 6MT. Works great, and even lowers the movement action a couple of inches. Just an idea.
