True short shifter (metal cage) for 5spd?

Hey are there any true short shifter options for the 5 speed that actually replace the plastic cage rather than these normal more comon shorter throw shifters?

Thanks

I bought a torque solutions short throw lever and I hate it. In for a legitimate solution. I can't see why the damn evo x 5 speed wouldnt work! I asked the manufacturer and they said it wouldn't interchange. I miss the feel of my Sti 6 speed

How about that b&m shifte that seems to be the shortest I can find?

I have an agency power with base and cable bushings and I hate it.

^x2 my buddies swapped GC8 has a Sti 6 speed and it feels amazing.

Not that Im in a need to Mod up my shifter frame, but wondered why that company designed one for the X & not the 8/9

I actually talked to them about this and due to the x being too flexible they have a big enough market to justify engineering the part. Unfortunately the 8 and 9 isn't horrible so they see no reason to invest their time. If we get a large enough group together we might get their attention

I'm pretty sure it is safe to say nobody has held them up side by side in comparison. You can be the first though
