Simply drill and tap on the shift lever closer to the pivot point. I moved inwards by about 33% or so, resulting in 33% shorter throw back-and-forth in the cabin. I used "8mm X 1.25" which matches perfectly with the diameter of the stock pin. You will also need to make the rubber-stopper thicker in the shifter base. Otherwise, you run the risk of breaking your shift fork when you shifting hard. I have run with this mod for almost 2 years, and no issue.

For the bump stopper on the shifter base, simply cut a small section of a hose and zip tie around the stock stopper to make it thicker. Like so..

In addition, to install a leather shift boot, you can reuse the bottom portion of your old accordion-style rubber boot. Like so. What the shifter looks like:

I drilled it all the way through, and also tap it all the way through the lever.
Then I use a bolt, a washer, and a nylon lock-nut at the bottom.. I will try to take a picture of this.
The bolt does not clamp down on the shifter bushings. The lock-nut at the bottom of the lever kinda acts like a jam nut.
