I have to admit, I bougth an APC short shifter . Yes, I'm sorry . But it was only $20. Not $50 from PepBoys. I actually works good, you can feel a big difference while shifting. I have never tried one of those more expensive ones, but I think they just do the exactly the same, so Just get the cheap one from ebay. You'll like it.

to shorten the throw, the bottom of the shifter needs to be extended, below the pivot point
the top portion can be shortened but is not necessary

Yeah, it really doesn't matter how long it is inside the car really, but to get a shorter shifts the part under the car after the "ball" needs to be longer.
