I don't think you will find a short shifter for the tip but the + and - are just 2 switches telling the tip ecu what to do.

You might have better luck mounting two switches on your steering wheel or under your left foot.

You can get a shorter gear stick if that's what you mean.

But that's different to a "short shift".

Cut down the shaft to make it smaller.

The shaft is just a hollow metal tube with a plastic piece running down the middle.

You want to measure the amount of plastic that over hangs the metal tube before you begin, then just cut the metal tube to your desired height without cutting the plastic. Finally, cut the plastic so that you are left with the same amount of overhang as you started with.

You might be better taking your own apart examining it.

Gives you a better mental picture than what we could show you.
