Short throw

I have a 2006 F250 w/ a manual tranny. I was wondering if anyone would know how to convert it to a short throw so I wouldn't have to deal with a 4ft throw hahaha

hahahah yea.....she has a habit of doing that and even 2-3 and hittin 1. The funniest is when she stalls out in traffic and basically has an emotional break down hahahaha. it's funny seeing ppl tryin to learn stick bc they completely forget all the driving basics. She stalled out once but kept her foot on the clutch and not on the brake and started rollin backwards towards another car, had to yell BRAKE!!!! then she yells at me for yellin at her hahahhaa

This is where I got mine from. The guy to talk to is Dan. He is a real stand up Guy. When I was having trouble installing mine he talked me through it and helped me out. The midwest short throw shifter will shorten the throw by 40%. The Bd short throw shifter will shorten the throw by 20%. It will make a night and day difference when shifting. Also when going into granny gear it will no longer hit my leg.
