I don’t see why Newman couldn’t make out for a Beretta. Yes it would be one off, but for say $250-300 I bet it would be worth the time. It wouldn’t have to be a total new piece, as long as he could just improve/mod the stock one to make it a shorter throw, that is really all that would be needed. I made one for my S-10 back in the day. I wish we had a Bridgeport down here, I love that machine. ☹ ---

Just built/installed one in my car… Feels really nice. The 2,4,6 portion of the shift is in the same location, the 1,3,5 portion is substantially closer to the driver, which is nice. This animation flashes the difference between 1st gear w/ the stock, then 1st w/ the short throw… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shifter_ani.gif](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shifter_ani.gif) And here is what it looks like in 2,4,6 ![http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/choi0706/elise%20stuff/shifter/DSC08576.jpg?t=1231632466](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/choi0706/elise%20stuff/shifter/DSC08576.jpg?t=1231632466) ---

91 beretta has a very shitty cable shifter. I do not even know how you could possibly make a short shifter for it, the way it is setup. Its a clunky piece of shit anyway, so why waist $300 to make it shorter when it just sticks anyway. ---
