Herrod or Billet sell an aftermarket one, most performance shops can get them.

Wait, a short shaft or a short-throw shifter? If the former, as I said, if the latter, what b2tf said.

Here's the link you need.
http://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/gear%2...%20turrets.htm Has info on short shift kits and short levers. I bought one of the short levers on Death351's advice. Cost me $105 and was delivered overnight! It's heaps better than the pole vault lever that's stock.  It was very easy to fit. Here's the "How to" for that process. Changing Manual Gear Levers http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...7&postcount=95 Cheers, GK

Lots! Looks better and was more comfortable to hold. Mated with a short shifter, it was a great combo.

If funds are tight, you could get your existing lever shortened by 3 cm or so. It'd cost you next to nothing to do and all you'd need to do is tap on a new thread. If you do, make sure you know what the thread size is before you cut anything, as you won't know what thread to cut back onto the shaft. Personally, I'd go the short lever from BPT, then you could sell your other one, or put it back on when you sell the car and sell off the shorty. Either way the shortening must take place! LOL! GK
