I don't know if I'd bother with a short shifter... it's a truck, not a sports car. I kind of like the long throw. To each their own, though.
+1 on the junkyard. I don't know any place else to get one other than ford, and I don't even want to know how much they cost from the dealer.
Manuals are hard to find in junkyards, though. I'm looking for a full 4x4 ZF6 transmission and striking out left and right...

the short throw shift is worth every penny makes for such cleaner shift because of the lessened throws
also so you know the short throw doesnt replace the long tube that is inside the truck it is the part on the trans
so if u need the stick itself then the short throw will not help you

If you plan on installing the under-dash gauge pod, knows the time to "modify" the shifter for clearance. Use the end of the shifter that bolts to the "snub" thats protrudes from the trans (the shifter itself is no more than slid over a rubber grommett), and using the bolted piece, weld yourself a rod to it...(take a look at my garage pic of what i mean).

Last I herd they no longer made the short throw shift kit and just now trying to look up their website that was linked from a post about their shifter their page no longer exsists and or the buisness no longer exsists.
However there is a Midwest transmission Supply that specializes in diesel performance http://www.midwesttransmissionsupply...?manu=2&cat=13 but they are located in NE and the place that had the short throw was located in MN. So i dont think it is the same place and they do not seem to offer a short throw kit.
