Commercially? Highly unlikely. Most people do solid bushings to tighten it up, but there's only so much you can do with a 1.5m control cable, a plastic shifter base, and about 3 pivot points under the hood. Given the twists and turns the cables have to make I'm not sure there is a way to reliably use rods to shift, but I would love to see it done!
