Short throw AUTOMATIC shifter
well some people wanted to see this again in its own thread and yes it was very easy to do.
just remove the old shifter..cut the remaining shift column to 2'' above where it comes out of the console .. then cut the white plastic "shifter rod" appox 3/4 to an inch above the metal tube.... to ensure the shifter still slides ride inside the tube using a plumbers pipe cutter to cut the metal the kind you spin around to cut. and then attach your fav . aftermarket shifter .. i got mine from RS-1 tuning ... bad ass little ball style .. you push the whole ball down to shift.. my O|D button well im relocating that to my new sterring wheel im getting it has 2 buttons on it .. so well see how that turns out

looks cool.
but i wouldnt personally call it a short throw. short throw shifters are designed to shorten the throw between shifts, hence the name. i dont think your mod will help your shifting much.

hmmm... can someone say pointless?
I mean spending money on a shift knob, doing the work and spending the time is just worthless if you think about it. But you can do what you want, its not my car.

you might be able to shift a little faster... but you are still driving an ATX. you will get no performance gains from this mod.
like i said, it looks cool, but thats it.
