Craven Short Shifter and NM cover

I recently installed the Craven Adj Short Shifter and I did not put a cover over the shift linkage under the car.

I'm having second thoughts and I was hoping someone could answer definitively:
Do the Craven Short Shifter and NM cover work well together?
Specifically: Can I use the lowest setting on the shifter with no rubbing or other adverse effects?

I'm either going to make a cover or buy the NM one but only if I can use the lowest setting on the craven shifter

Thanks in advance.

At lowest with the NM cover...it won't rub. I had this setup before and you'll be fine. Please don't run w/o a cover.

I had the Craven Speed short shifter installed for well over 2 years with no cover and never had a problem. I swapped out my exhaust last year and had my mechanic install the NM cover at that time. I have always had the short shifter on its lowest setting. It does not rub and the two work well together.

Thanks all. Just ordered the cover from Way.

Should be a quick install now that the hard part is out of the way.
Worth it for the peace of mind.
