Default short shifter

I have a 2000 civic with a manual trany and I was looking into getting a short shifter for it. What is the best type of short shifter to get that not only shortens the shifts but has a shorter stick that is closer to the ground. Plus I don't want to pay much more than 50 or 60 bucks for it.

DC sports makes a good short shifter it has a really short throw and it sits really low, its no longer than 9" from top to bottom you can usually pick them up cheap about 30 bucks at most

I concur. I've had two (yes, two) aluminum shifters snap off in my hand. Of course, I beat the living hell out of my car at the track
