if its clean goop your in good shape, if he didnt cut the sleeve to go around the shifter and dirt got in the goop you may have some troubles with it.

The Pro 5.0 stick is meant to be cut to length. Most people take 1/2 - 3/4" off the threads. I'd say start there, you can always cut more off later.
