Are you talking about a short thow shifter? I haven't looked really hard on the Web, but I have browsed a bit and not found anything. If no one else posts that they have found one, please post if you find anything.

If you're talking about shorter in height, I'd have to go along witht the saw & welder idea. If I had any welding skills (I'm really pretty bad at it) I'd lengthen and bend my shifter back a bit; it's already a little too short for me. Maybe I'll try to find a used shifter and practice someday.

Oh yeah I should elaborate a little. A short throw shifter isnt a hacked off shortened shifter inside the cab (thats kinda ricey). The welder is required so you can extend the shifter below the pivot under the car (creating shorter throws). It's kind of ghetto to weld your own, but if nobody makes a nice stainless steel one, you can always do it yourself.

hmmm i was hoping someone made one that would fit it lol, welding is not my strong point, i heard that the 300zx has the same tranny as we do so their short throw shifter would work in out trucks.....oh well :shrugs:

Let me know how it goes if you try it. I do know for a fact that the N/A 300zx has the same tranny though.
