[Big hammer]

Man this hard to imagine what’s going on ? Maybe you have changed the way that you are driving? Instead of up and over to the brake pedal, try sliding your foot back then over and up to the brake pedal ? Your engine installer didn’t change the shifting tower but may have changed the brake pedal height ? Bending the shifter is very common practice, if all else ask the engine installer for assistance ! I’am 6’3” 200+ lbs and have a Tudor with the seat moved back 6” , I think I slide my foot back and then up and over to the brake pedal. Get out and enjoy your new Burtz !
