Auto drivers... Is this poss

Ok is there any way to cut and make the stick smaller so the handle is more flush with the bottom?

He's not after a short throw (not that it'd make a difference in an auto!), but a shorter handle. Easy: cut and weld the handle to the desired size, then sand and re-paint to make it look factory.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be as simple as cut and weld. There is a mechanis connected to the button that will keep it from moving. You will need to do a little more modding than cut and weld.

o shitttt thats tight

Nah, this could pretty much be a cut/weld job.

There is an inner tube/bar, but the majority of the post is solid, non-moving metal.

I cut the shifter in my old auto Corolla. Use a pipe cutter for the outer tubing, and then there should be an inner rod that you can cut with sidecuts or a hacksaw. Make sure to pay attention to how far that rod sticks out of the tube before you cut it. You'll want it to be the same relative length afterward. The inner mechanical workings should be contained in the handle and really aren't anything more complicated than a wedge attached to the release button. That pushes the inner rod down and lets you change gears. Watch the wires for your sport button, tuck the extra down in the tube and enjoy the cleaner look of your shortened shaft. (probably the only time anyone will enjoy you having a shorter shaft! )
I can't imagine why you'd need to weld or repaint it.

TypeG, got it. Pretty nifty. Good for doing a faux-shortshifter AT/MT swap.
