IIRC, only the rounded heads of the pins extend outside of the shift tower. Kinda like the head of a rivet. Otherwise pretty much sits flush with the outer sides. The pins sticking out on the inside is about 1/8" (or around that) from the inner wall to the end of the pin. Only has to be long enough to engage with the slots in the shift collar.
