Default replacement for factory reverse lockout shifter?

Does anyone know if there are any better designs produced for a '90 with manual trans.? Pulling the button up while shifting into reverse is a pain in the butt.

Yes, the Hurst short throw shifter has this design feature eliminated.

However, grinding gears as you go towards 5th (And brush the reverse synchro) sucks too!

I personally miss the reverse lockout.

Of course, an idiot auto technician break your shifter as he tries to engage reverse (not realizing there is a reverse lockout) sucks bad too.

How does that happen? The synchro doesn't get nicked until you move the shifter all the way to the right AND down.
