5-spd shifter kinks forwards or backwards?

Can anybody with a 5-spd Mx-3 let me know if the shifter (stock or aftermarket) kinks towards the front or the back of the car? There's a kink in the middle of them, and I put it so that the top half of the shifter is kinked towards the back of the car.

Hopefully that makes sense. :oops:

You mean the shifter itself when you look at it under the boot? I'll check sometime tonight and post; i'm a bit lazy at the moment :D . I know it's kinked one way or the other.

Ok my stock shifter is kinked toward the back of the car so you're all good!

Lol Mad Cow put a straight one in there and now when he's in neutral it looks like he's in 3rd :lol:

Hey it's not completely straight, but yea there's almost no kink. Sure I can't rest my hand on it when it's in 5th, but who needs to do that anyway? :lol: Oh well, at least I can adjust the shifter throw, it's worth it. :)
