you did what?! Oh boy...
You're gonna need to buy an all new shifter. I would look in the FS section or ask Paul over at Mazmart. GL.

Try this 
take the piece that was cut off the shifter and screw it back into the **** so that the **** no longer sits low enough to hit the console. Don't forget to use Red Lock Tight on the threads to make sure the piece doesn't work itself loose!!

dude if you guys haven't noticed already this guy is a friggin troll... Search his last few posts, its either he's a really really stupid ricer (which i think he's being too obvious about) or he's here trolling, I think it's the latter.

are you sure.... i think if he cut off the end of the vice grip that tightens it.... that knerred ****.... he could thread it and put a **** on it....
btw... i have a stock shifter sitting in a box above my spare motor..... and it will continue to sit in that place....

I'd prefer to believe he's a troll. The thought some one this "bright" is actually licensed to, much less capable of driving is,.... well frightening.
What's his home brew solution for putting in a quick ratio steering assembly?
Ricer or troll, maybe the only way to know for sure is if he'll post some pictures of his car
