I left mine in the Marlin default position and used a Z3 shifter but still needed to modify the length of the linkage. Mark at Marlin confirmed at the time that no specific shifter would fit their position, they'd located the hole purely based on optimal comfort for driving. I was going to move it back just because it seemed so close to the dash area but I'm glad I left it as being quite tall, it's perfect. With the seat right back my hand falls naturally right on the stick. With a short shift stick and a stubby gearknob it leaves about and inch or two before touching the centre console
