I kinda have to agree with you guys. I'm not convinced that this is the way to go.

The piece that needs to be trimmed is not even functional, and you'll never see it again unless you like leaving your shifter housing exposed while driving 
The reason for the trimming is simple: there is just not quite enough space to allow full movement of the shifter when the adapter is installed. Again, there is no harm at trimming a little extra bit of plastic in an area that servers no real purpose.
The other option is to replace the whole shifter assembly (when one comes out), but that will definitely cost more.

The installation is the same as the 8thgen adapter, with the exception that there will be a bit of plastic trimming needed (a small amount, about 1/4 inch of plastic).

Just got mine today, does it supposed to come with two screws as described on the manual? I only received the short shifter and a small tube of grease.

What make was the 8thgen one you installed? Was it a CT Engineering?
