short throw shifters

anyone know of where to get a solid, reliable and cheap shortie? I have found some across the internet that are priced well, but I do not know the quality and how exactly it works. I have replaced shifters before in Mustangs, and it was always the entire stick, but some of these I have found appear to be just an extension on the bottom end of the stick.

any opinions?

should I try to find kits that have a new entire shifter? I have a 2004 Cooper S MC40 and want to keep using the standard/stock **** so I do not need a kit with a replacement ****.

Help?
