Short shifter/shifter slop
 
Has anyone looked into having a short shifter made? I know the throw is already on the short side for an oem car, but I really dont like the plasticky feel of the throw. I looked up the car and the linkage is plastic, which could amount to some of the flex in the shifter/lack of feel but I would really prefer a much shorter,firmer feeling shift.

I was thinking about replacing the linkage with an aluminum piece and replacing the crappy bushings with heim joints where possible.

I think I might be spoiled by the one we put in the z06. MGW, 60% reduction is throw length, everything is speherical bearings and every single oem shift linkage part is replaced. It feels absolutely amazing. We are a dealer, I might contact them and send them a shift linkage and see if they can do anything

Has anyone ever experienced some slop that allows the shaft of the shifter (not the knob) to pivot slightly left or right? I really want to fix that.

Anyone has ever had to deal with my issue?

Surely the shaft is attached to the knob?
