Right this is on my S40 T4

IS it ok and cause no problems cutting say maybe 2"'s off the original length of the shaft?

At moment I think it sits was too high and would be alot more comfy if it was a bit lower down...

Think it will be fine but thought I would check

Also make sure that can attach the knob as well on the cut section. Difficult its a screw fit.
