If you want a short throw shifter, you make something like this as i did:

Stock throw in my car with stock linkages from 3rd to 4th was 7". This kit i made is 3" on the same spread. From neutral, its roughly 1.5" to be in gear. Makes it stock height but removes the obnoxious throw ;)

Mind you, this was prototype, my current reproduced one, is flawless :)

Your pic is basically identical to how mine looks, except for I have an extended on bottom, shortened on top stock flat beretta style shift arm, yours looks like a Fiero shift arm with the same mods! Mine also sits back at stock height and my throw is also 3'' from 3rd to 4th. Good work guy! :good:
