Default Short Throw?

have an 09 Vette with the Z51 package.The shifting distance is about 3" between gears.Will the MGW Shifter reduce the distance between gears? I have read quite a few threads on how much better the MGW is than the stock shift,but nothing on reducing the distance between the gears. Rod

Yes, it reduces throw by 30% I believe. It's a very noticeable difference.

^^this...also the MGW has much less play, much stiffer. Makes it harder to miss a shift.
