A lot of people say that but, its not true. Just dont buy cheap chit from ebay, get a good brand...ex B&M short shifters are amazing. Just install it and you should be fine.

What I heard, that made sense to me is this: People get short shifters and start slammin' gears because they now have a short shifter and are able to do so more effectively. Don't beat the **** out of your tranny because your shift throw has been reduced 2 inches and took .2 seconds off your gear change. I got a B&M, it works great.

it does when u slamming gear. imagine this, with stock shifter, it took .2 sec to change gear(assume that is the fastest the tranny mechanically can shift), but with a shorter shifter, if u use the same force to shift, it will change gear faster and it will over the tranny mechanical limit. then it will start wear out/put excessive stress on the synchro of the tranny.

LOL so true
as for the question no it doesnt, it really depends on the driver, the short shifter makes a more sportier feel to the daily commuter
