One of the quirks on this Honda is the shifter - prime on my list of things to improve are what I think are weak centering springs, installing Energy Suspension shifter bushings, and relocating the knob to sit about an inch higher and an inch further back, and putting on a ball-type shift knob since that has the most natural hand feel for me. The Honda forum guys aren't helping that much.

I've found various short throw shifters, shifter extenders, etc., but nothing great. I think one of this forum's greatest strengths is the community of creative DIY folks. Any ideas about how to approach this from a DIY perspective?
