It does take more effort. That is a trade-off. There is nothing free in life.

This is my poor example which I have repeated.

Swing a baseball bat with your hands at the end of the bat. Then choke up for a bunt. If you want to hit the ball out of the park with the same swing force...

The shift is just a lever, like that bat.

I do not have a short shift on my car, but I have put in a few dozen on local Boxsters/996s.

I suggest you try a car that has one. Then see if you like it.
