Ok - short throw it is. Now to open up a can of worms...........
Which shifter? I tried a friend's Hurst - waaaay to much effort to me.
Are the others any different? Heard that Kirban has less effort.

What springs did he have in the Hurst, and how new was it?
The B&M is the stiffest of them all.
I don't know about the Kirban.
The Hurst is somewhat tailor-able by swapping the springs, and it does tend to loosen up over time.
If you found the Hurst too stiff...you may want to look into the stock C6 shifter, which is a shorter throw and **** height, but without the stiffness,

No noise from mine, but I used an MGW`****.

Shifter for function, rotors for mostly looks. Go for the shifter first.
