STS for 6 speed

What's up,
I've got a 6 speed and the throw is driving me crazy. What's a good short throw shifter out there? I'm having a hard time finding one for a 6 speed (I find plenty for 5 speed).

Thanks!

on the note of shifting...what aftermarket shfit ***** if any do you use? my question is for the 6 speed owners....you know the lil you have to pull up to put it in reverse....the safety catch....will that fit under most shift ***** or will it look stupid. you know what i mean? how the plastic piece slides underneath the stock shift ****? i'm curious if this is affected by other ***** that have tapered bottoms.

There are ***** specifically for 6-speeds out there that will allow you retain the reverse lock out ring.

There is a good selection here:

I wonder if this one will work. I've had it in just about every car I've owned, and I love it. Anybody know by chance?

Ahh the Momo Phantom!! The best feel ever!!!!! I had one of those in my 4th Gen and had another in a bunch of my other cars, still have it, in fact it's for sale! (in box), but maybe not now if it works with our 6 speeds!

This one is actually the Momo Shadow. I as well like the feel of this shift ****. It's very solid, and feels like the **** forms to the natural curvature of your hand vs the other way around. If you are selling, I am buying! Of course if it works......you can't back out now, you've already set your mind to sell.

I did a search and all that was returned were quite a few threads with the word "free" in them about different STS installs. But none of them referred to a stock shifter modification from what I could gather.

Any search assistance would be greatly appreciated or even a direct link. Thank you!
