Hi,
Agreed 100%. It's simple physics - Shorten the Throw and you lose a
whole lot of Mechanical Advantage - the Shifter is basically only a Lever.
The Trade-off with virtually ALL Short Shift Kits is an increase in the Effort needed and a more noticable
Notchiness. Any reports to the contrary are usually due to Placebic effect.
The only real place you can truly shorten the shift is at the Selector Forks
inside the Transmission - can't do that for a mere $150...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
