Do you really need one shorter? I think if you get a countersunk shiftknob and you remove the locking nut, it is already very short.

There are 4 or 5 people in the Metro NY forum that have the C's short shifter. Billman250 modifies it for LHD. He has one in his car and so does BlueMonde. There have been a bunch of them for sale on ebay.
Do a search on ebay seller 'amagjapan' if you want one.

^ Hey thanks...I heard that the JDM RHD version's are horrible for LHD cars...I talked to a guy who had one and he sold it after one track day....That's the same day he installed it...I was really bumed...I love the look and feel of a shifter that sits as low as a supra..

I have a voodoo countersunk knob right now...I'm wondering if that and the short shifter would be overkill ...I would still try it out though heh

I bought one, installed it, test drove the car with it on, came home and removed it, and sold it. I hated the way it felt. It did make the throws a little shorter but I thought the actually feel of shifting was terrible since the C's is filled with rubber and not solid like the stock shifter giving it a squishy feeling. Mine had also been modified to work for LHD cars and I didn't have a problem with that at all. I honestly wouldn't recommend and would say that you should try to find a car with one and try it out before dropping 3 bills on one.
