As far as I know, there is only one company producing a short throw shifter which is BD. Here is a link to the manufacturer's site:
http://www.bd-power.com/ram/shortshift.html
Most places see it for about $185.
www.genosgarage.com is a good place to purchase it from.

Bradley,
With BD, you may be on your own once you pay for the item. A member was recently complaining about this product and the lack of customer service provided after he purchased the product. Here are some related links.....

This is why i'm a little leary of purchasing this product. I was going to say something at first, but didn't want to disparage the product.
Personally I'd love to see a company such as B&M make a short throw shifter for our rigs. I've used them in the past and they are excellent pieces.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Nobody NEEDS this item or in reality any upgrade. But it is nice to have. After I modified my truck I can be really lazy and place my elbow in one place on the console and just by wrist action go thru all 6 gears.

Oh the LAZY factor, forgot about that 
I can see the need in a car if you are looking for 1/4 miles times but just didn't see it in a truck. I also heard of some problems with the BD, but they may have them resolved. BD does have their own board you may get some answers from.
Thats why I have two 6 speeds, one in the truck, and if I want to get lazy and fast got one in the T/A....

From looking at teh one that BD advertises, it would just be nice to be able to shift, since I do most of my driving in the city with a lot less distance, maybe its like the old saying if it sounds to good to be true it usually is. Maybe the money would be better spent for a billet grill, or Ram air, or etc............................

I got one for my girls truck for xmas. Her father has a D-Max and is always bragging about the power of the Duracrud. I wanted to give her every extra edge I could when she lines up against the Allison Auto... the $189.00 is a small price to pay for serious household bragging rights
