Adjusting shift throw distance

Adjusting shift throw distance
i bought an 03 C2 from a dealer about a year ago. The previous owner who had the car on lease did some mods. One of which is a short shifter kit.
4th gear is way too short, it feels as if the shifter is barely in gear and has popped out a few times when i attempted to shift it. 1/3/5 are fine, but 2/4/6 are all a bit shorter, but 4 is really an issue. I almost have to hold it momentarily in gear before i release the clutch. Anyone know how to adjust the throw distance?

You need to remove the center rear console out completely. Look and see if it's an aftermarket shifter. If not, it could be undercar shift kit. There is a snap-on black plastic cover on top the two cables, remove it. Now, look below the shifter you will see the shift link. Adjust by turn and play with the plastic end with spring. Make sure you mark with nail polish the current setting so you know where is the original point.
Test drive without install the console. If for any reasons it's still not properly shift in gear then you need to adjust from the bottom of the car. Now that I haven't done one. GL!
