6 Speed short throw shifter?

Has anyone come out with a short throw shifter for the 2002 Maxima? My arm is getting tired from rowing through the gears!

I think I read a post like this before. They don't have any for the 6-speed yet. Since I am unsure, just try searching "short throw" in the Search.

Sorry, don't think anyone makes one for the 6-speed yet. I don't know if it is even possible to replace the shifter due to the reverse safety ring on the 6-speed.

Yea, that could work, I know the early 90' Accord had cable shift. Neuspeed made a bracket to rehook the cables at a different pivot point to make the shifts shorter. This will work, just need to fabricate it. Good idea!
