question regarding hurst shifter

[twinturbo3150]

what makes a short throw? a short throw?. the reason I ask is because I am installing my hurst right now and I have the factory knob and shaft off, and as you can see from the pic it is reduced by more than half. Well I then screwed my after market knob on and it thread right on. Now shifting through the gears it seems shorter. is it just me high in the night, and do I really need to put the hurst in. trying to post pic's bear with me. Not used to the new alley yet

[u tell me]

Well yeah some of the "short throw" comes from reducing the height of the knob in relation to the pivot. If it comes via threading the knob down further, a shorter shaft, or a combination of the two, simple geometry says it will move a shorter distance. See if you can get the pics up and I'll try to explain it.

U- I'm telling you, quit being such a hippie, buying this car changed my life, douche bag. It's a car, if just owning it has made your life so blissful you have issue. Now STFU, I can already tell you won't last long here at all.
