There is a difference between a short shifter and a short throw shifter, if you want a short shift cut your shaft and reweld it.

If you want a short throw weld any type of extension to the underside of the shifter. The longer the extension the shorter the throw.

X2 thats exactly what I did. I bought a 7gc short throw shifter and cut the bottom part off and welded it to the bottom of my 6gc shifter. Much better and accurate shifting experience.
