Is there a shorter shift for an automatic?

I've searched but failed...

I'm noob at technical terms, but is there a shorter shift for an automatic? I find the shift long and really want it shorter. I was thinking of cutting the shift to a desired length and put on a shift **** with allen screws. Will that be a good idea?

Please help! Thanks!!!

I just think that the long shift is kinda odd looking. I want it short just for the looks because we dont really hold on to it that much compared to a manual. Well, i guess that answers my question. cut and rethread, or i'll just find a shift **** with allen screws.

Thanks! :D

I wish mine were shorter, too. My brother's RSX has a really nice and short one, it makes the tC gear change feel rather fragile in comparison.

^ you mean it wasnt stock that height? i guess ripping a part the interior so much and putting it back together you kinda lose the sight of how it looks stock and just keep spinning.

What do you call that shift ****? Is that called a self-threading shift ****? I'm really clueless... sorry.

uhh... you must've gotten the older shift **** model with the plastic insert instead...?

that's not gonna work with the newer ones...

though your first pic seems much higher than what it should've been in the first place.
