   I don't know of an actual short throw shifter mechanism (actually, I
think Mark Kuzia might have one?), but if you feel like a do it yourself
project, you can shorten the stick itself. I did that in my Dak, although
if you make it too short, the resistance in the tranny makes it harder to
shift gears. I'd recommend it from a looks point of view, but IMHO, I
don't think it'll do a whole lot for performance. Couple of thousands
maybe...

  There's a write-up of the install I did in my Dak on the upgrades and
mods section of the DML home page.
