they do, look on mazda trix, there about 200 dollars, but they reduce the throw of the shift by more than half.

i got my 2nd gen short shifter on eBay pretty cheap, well alot cheaper than the mazdatrix one which this one basically is. search for it on there. it's not on there too often though since i think the seller has to make a new batch.
here's the seller
as you'll see his inventory is 0 right now.

Not sure, but I think the ones on ebay are not true short-shifters and are actually just shorter shafts.

I love my mazdatrix short shifter, when I first used it I was missing all the gears for a minute because it is so different to me, and I thought that it wasn't going in to gear all the way because it felt so little.

the one i got from the guy on eBay IS a true short shifter. actually the height is just slightly shorter than stock but the throws are VERY short. kinda notchy but i like it like that it came with all new bushings as well.
