4kq short shift kit potential problems?

[Ken Keith]

Hi Aaron,

No experience, other than cutting down my Saturn shifter by 2".  
However, it seems to me that your linkage will only move as fast as 
you move it.  You could damage your synchros without the short 
shift kit, if you shifted too fast or force it.  I say go for it.
