09 Short Shifter

Anyone make one? Or even an adapter? The shifting in the 09 is smooth but I don't like the throw at all.

yeah when i'm getting giddy sometimes I let up the clutch before its actually all the way in gear and it kicks me out and the diphoids or whatever grind and its nasty sounding.. happens maybe once a week to me :'( usually when I'm going to third or 5th

In my old car I used the weighted Skunk2 shift knob w/ a short shifter and loved it. I may just pick up a new weighted Skunk2 knob until the short shifter comes out. The weight makes a difference.

The weight of the Skunk2 knob combined with it sitting lower (don't use the lock nut) will make a difference for you. I'm kind of curious if the 1G TSX adapter would work on the 2G. Someone should pop the center console off and take a look at the shifting mechanism and post pictures -- that would help decide if it's worth the $60 plunge to try one out.
