Default Longer shifters? Pro 5.0

Hi! I have a Pro 5.0 power tower shifter installed in my car, which was installed by a previous owner.
Yester day i almost ruined the trans due to the shifter being to short and far away from me (2 to 3 shift). So i would like to get a longer shifter.
Where can i get hold of a longer shifter? I would like to change just the shifter "arm", since there is 2 bolts to unbolt and the "arm" is loose i would think that is possible.
I have ben searching for a official website but cant finde any thing. And none of the bigger companies (jegs summit) had just the shifter in stock.

Any help would be helpfull. Thanks.

I would measure the length of the shift lever (arm) then buy one that's an 1" or 2" longer and bolt it to the rest of the shifter. I know Hurst sells their shift levers in many lengths both straight and curved (brings the shifter handle closer to you) so maybe that would work, I'm not familier with the design of the Pro 5.0 shifter so I don't know if my suggestion will work or not. Anyway I hope it helps.

I am going to try this shift handle on my ls1/t56 swapped rx7 with a pro 5.0

http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_shift_handle.shtml

Even though its made for a cobra it should bolt up to my camaro pro 5.0

Gives a little more adjustment which is what I was looking for

Yup I was gonna use the tri ax handle as all the ls1 rx7 guys were suggesting it.. but I dont know this one caught my eye, and if the tri ax handle fits this one should too.
