Did you change the pivot ball actuation point? or Just cut it?

If you wouldn't mind, explain... What about the ergonomics of a shift changes as you change that point? Does that make sense?

You could even go a step farther and explain how you'd do it on a Yaris, because I did the same thing he did and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to improve the shift assembly further other than get new bushings. Would this involve modifying that plastic cage?

Don't get me wrong, for the whopping price of free I'm stoked with what I have. I just want some options.

He is correct it is NOT truely a "short throw shifter".
All he did was shorten the upper portion of the shaft.
I will be making one soon. At that point I'll go into more detail on how to make one yourselves.
Just give a week or so to make the DIY
