B&M probably has the only manual short shift kit out there, I run one in my '85 4Runner adapated from a Tacoma kit:



It works well, throw is shorter by about 40% or so.

More info.

Otherwise, Marlin Crawler can often modify your existing shifter for shorter throw. Not sure if they have the 3rd gen parts or not.

OK, well in that case B&M is probably it. They only list it for the Tacoma, 2WD, 4- and 6-cyl trannys. I can make adapters similar to what I did on my W56 to fit most transmissions. All I need is a tracing or dimensions of the shifter base bolt holes to make one. That is the flat aluminum part in the center-right of the image above. The B&M shifter is very nice, solid stainless steel and it is adjustable for shifter position.
