I installed the panel a couple of months ago. I have two switches in the panel with my 6-speed. I don't have a problem at all with the shifter hitting the switches. I like it alot and will buy two more switches when the need arises.

 

You may be lucky with how your switches are mounted. the only one not hit by the shifter boot is the far left one. The problem I have is the arb switches are mounted there. Its a real pain to have the locker on, downshift into first on a hill (or sometimes, hit 3rd when I'm reckless ) and turn off the locker .

I also have a video system for rock-crawling in the 4th spot, it really sucks when that gets kicked off - turns off the recording!

Trying to figure out a 'fix', like some kind of metal loop that sticks out as far as the switch like on aircraft switch pods.
