The popular name "short shifter" is wrong anyway, it's really a short-throw shifter.

mookeeh makes a short throw and so does rotary performance. rotary admits that the short throw shifter can rattle and make unwanted noises. mookeeh improves distance 60% while rotary performance improves 45%. if you can make the short throw less than $195(rotary performance), maybe price maxed at $120. then im in. no question. especially if it will work on aftermarket shift *****.

I have an eBay $40 "Miata" ss kit and after an afternoon of tweaking, it works beautifully and is rattle free.
Aaron's mysterious setup (don't recall ever seeing/hearing specifics) and now your (potentially) upgraded design sound interesting (if only from an intellectual standpoint) and I'd be in for one if the design looked more elegant than the typical aluminum doughnut with a roll pin pivot.

I'd rather have a cheap mass-produced item than something that is an expensive hand-machined piece...
Personally, I can feel the gears engage with the stock shifter, but either way... the only reason I feel a short shifter would be necessary is because 5th gear would be hard to reach when using a racing harness.

Alright guys, looks like this one isn't going to happen.
Too much cross-talk.
After the last few parts I've convinced the bosses to make for these cars have met with nobody actually buying anything, and a lot of complaining, I'm actually not that inclined to try and convince them to listen to me and make another one at the moment. Maybe on something in the future that people are more interested in.
Consider the short shifter dead. Sorry I tried to bring out new parts for your cars
