+1 on hiking the short shifter....
......causes more problems then it solves.
You lose considerable leverage with the shorter stroke. Really only necessary for the extreme seat bolsters that some cars have...and the shift knob interference that then results in the 2nd gear position. Original poster doesn't mention the year. Stock 1984 had the standard, "long" throw....stock 85 already came fitted from factory with a "semi-short shift" kit installed ....reducing throw by 10%. "True" short-throw shift kit reduces throw by 20% over normal....and effort goes up at least this much as its an outfall of the lever-rule.
