Re: short shift

You are definately on the money 1200rally. You want to achieve a shorter gear change by moving the fulcrum point on the gear lever.

In my opinion there is no advantage gained by shortening the length of the stick, as the end result is that the driver will have to reach further from the steering wheel to change gears. Shortening the stick could considered a quick fix.
Ideally you would want the the gear stick close to the steering wheel ( to reduce time taken to move your hand) in congunction with a short "throw" between gears (achieved but moving the fulcrum point of the gear stick.

Just my thoughts.
