Do any short shifters improve the downshift to 2nd?

Sure, why not?

1 thing you can do without any hardware is re adjust the reverse lockout plate, it defines the far left hand gate for 1st and 2nd gear. It can be tweaked to provide better alignment when the stick is in the 1-2 gate.

Next up is the MTec Shift Springs, they will improve the auto centering and add just the right amount of resistance to lateral and fore - aft motion to really smooth out the shifts in any gear.

That should sort you out, but, if you still want a short shifter, go with kartboy, the other designs like the ebay shifter and the billet pro are prone to rattle like all hell over 3,000 rpm.
