I've seen them for the NV but not the G56. If you find one let us know about it.

Ive been thinking about getting a short throw for my NV5600, feels like I'm rowing a boat sometimes with the 3 foot shifts.

now about the G56. The way the gears are selected on the G56 lends itself to not being very friendly to short shifters. if one has not been made yet I doubt one will be made. The design of the shifter tower is not the traditional selector style, instead you have what looks like push rods, 7 in total, to put the shifter forks in the right possition.
