I've recently (past couple of weeks) installed the BAD Uniwerks short shifter and aluminum side shifter upgrade. I used the stock ends, cables, etc. The difference is huge! All slop is gone. Shifting is now shorter, but not too short, precise, but not notchy, it's not too heavy or stiff. For me it's about perfect, and I'm coming from an NC Miata, which was the best shifting car I had ever driven.

I second the BAD shifter. So much better

I looked at economical short-shift kits on Amazon, but I've decided to go for the the BAD Uniwerks shifter, even though with the aluminum side shifter upgrade it's three times as expensive. Some things, it's smart to pay more for better quality.
