You can get a newer shifter out of a 89-91 in a junkyard. Than can be grinded down, so you determine how short your shift is.

a stock 89-91 shifter will be shorter throw then yours. I have sat in and shifted a car with the mazdaspeed one and it felt pretty nice (didn't drive it, it was in a shop not running)

but I've heard they can make bad rattling nosies that you can't fix.
