If flipping it doesn't work completely, you can adjust the straightness by lengthening or shortening the cables where they are anchored. I doubt any replacement would match perfectly... otherwise the factory would not have the adjustments.

Perhaps it's just me but it seems flipping the lever will just make it cant the opposite direction, not stand straight up as intended. At least based on the shifter I have, the base of the lever sits straight up and down at 90* and then bends in one direction towards the driver when it neutral. If I flipped the lever, it would just cant in the opposite direction, not sit at 90*. The only way the lever would get to 90* in the neutral position is if the angle of the lever at the fulcrum is already at an angle. What am I missing? If flipping the lever IS the solution, then the fulcrum point is the issue, not the lever, and perhaps there is a way to get that joint to sit more upright in the neutral state.

This is how my lever is oriented (in neutral), canting slightly towards the driver. I like it this way. It's not as extreme as ATX_Native's shifter. If I were to flip my lever as suggested, it would be canting symetrically in the opposite direction, not straight up.
Are you sure. Here is a pic from pelicans site of the factory short shifter. It should bend away from the driver

I bet the OPs would be just right.
