Go to ebay and search 944 short shifter. I cannot post a link or it will be removed since they are not forum sponsors. The shifter looks a lot like the Lindsey version.
I did mine in the car with no problems and use the 924 bushings.
How did you go about drilling out the shift arm? There seem to be two conflicting methods, either in the car with a hand drill or going through the trouble of removing the shift arm to drill it out on a press. I'm want to go the second route, but I'd have to wait a few months until I have access to a good machine shop again.

Any tips or is it as straightforward as I think it is: unclip from the shifter, unbolt the rod at the trans, and then turn it on it's side and drill straight down?
Not that I know of, but many people here have hacked their stock rods to make a shorter version that still accepts the stock ****. I think there are a few threads out there, I'll edit after looking for them
