i did my short shift kit in two stages.
first i replaced the shift lever on the selector shaft (couple of inches
long with a half inch ball stud on it) with the shorter, later model shift
lever.

about $50.
this has the effect of shortening the fore/aft throws.
then when i was rebuilding the shift mechanism during a clutch job, i took
off the shaft that snaps onto this ball and modified it.
there is another, smaller ball stud on top of this shaft which i raised
about 15 mm, effectively reducing the side-to-side throws.
$20 or less at a welding shop.
