Duster 4 speed center console HELP! PLEASE.

The other problem I am having is the shifter moves very far forward when in reverse and hits the front of the cut out in the console. How does one limit the forward throw? I have discovered that the bracketing that I was provided is not original because it bolts in, but it makes the console sit up like 2" higher than the top of the hump. Does anyone have pictures of a console installed without the carpet in place?
