Default short shifter question

For this neuspeed short shift adapter...

http://neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=52|AC&type=3&ltype =ns_import&p_id=1047

I was wondering... does this only shorten the throw, or will it make the shifter also appear shorter. I LOVE the look of a short shifter... like the pics Falkore posted not too long ago in his tC. Something about it is just so... right. From what I've read in the instructions, I would think the throw is shortened, but the appearance remains the same. Anyone got insight?

It does not change the height.

Do as I did, install the kitthen use a shift **** that is lower than the stock one. I chose the Monster **** and love the feel of it in hand plus it's shorter.

Is that a universal ****, or does it actually thread on? I had a universal **** for about 3 days before I decided I hated it, cuz it didn't stay in place.

As mentioned, the SS adapter only moves the pivot point, shortening the throw. I changed the entire shifter rod. A common miscomception is that a shorter shifter equals a shorter throw .... while this is true if keeping the same pivots, a long rod can have a short throw. This pic is from the guys car that made my short shifter. He claims that he has a shorter throw than any SS on the market.

You are certainly welcome. The shift kit, Monster ****, and Red Line MTL in the transmission makes for one sweet shifting and effortless gear box regardless of the outside temperature.
