I have to recommend the B&M shifter. I have it on my 97 and the shifts are very short. See sig for website and details.

i don't know if the SMC units are still being sold, but if i remember correctly, they were re-badged Pacesetter short shifters. i have the Pacesetter SS, it was pretty cheap(around $65), and it's height adjustable with short throws.

B&M piece is a good short shifter, but it's alot more expensive then the Pacesetter counterpart.

The B&M is about 3" shorter than the stock one.

good to know....how far did you adjust it prior to install? I know you have to lift the car and install from underneath, correct? Can you adjust once installed?
