Yup. As you've pointed out, there's a little spacer. All crystal shifters are made to the same dimension as the original. It's too costly for these aftermarket companies to redesign and retool for different shifters.

The spacer fills the extra height of the metal shifter pole which the gear knob mounts on. If you really wanted you could trim down the pole with an angle grinder. An inch should do the job.

Or do what I've done... Spray it sliver. Had a random can knocking about in shed.
I think it's come out ok.
