I got mine through Dstocks.

You can do it yourself. Just getting the shifter off it's bracket thing is hard... Need brute strength....

    The Cs shortshifts are good. Never heard a complaint. Not many options on brand though.

      dstocks can you help to get me one?

      apart from that does anyone know if i can find short shifters from other cars which will fit FTO as well, e.g Protons, Lancers, Galants.
