If you lengthen the shaft of the shifter on a traditional rod/cable transmission, without adding a short-shift kit, you will greatly increase the throw and also increase the chance of missing a gear.
i didn't think about how long the throw would be with a very long shaft on the shifter. thanks for the info!
