The reasons why NOT to cut your stock shifter to MAKE a short shifter. I did some research and found this information.
It's still not a short THROW shifter. When you cut the top down, thats the only distance that is decrease. You still have the shifter that's under the shift point to contend with. When you just cut the top, you end up using more force when you shift. Your fulgrum point doesn't change and you need more leverage to shift. The B&M and Schnell shifter made are true short throw shifters. The shaft was cut down by 3" AS WELL AS changing the fulgrum point to make it a 1:1 shift ratio. Hope this helps.
