You can get this sort of thing

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-BA-AU-5-...QQcmdZViewItem

as a cheap alternative but the shorter throw is created by a physically shorter shifter. to get a proper short throw shift unit that retains your standard gear stick height you will pay a few hundred give or take.

Just fitted one of those to Muzz's car (a mate of mine), and so far he loves it. And this is a man who doesn't do really like doing mods! Takes about 15 minutes to fit, and is approx 1.5 to 2" shorter than standard gear shaft.
