it means that when you shift gears, you dont have to move the stick as far. for instance... the distance you would have to move the shifter from 1st to 2nd would be less. like the gears are closer together. which means you can shift faster which = faster times. not a lot though. short shifters make your shifter feel much better. i really dont know how else to explain it.

Excellent graphic demonstration driftaholic!

Basically... it raises the pivot point... the result is less input from the top of the stick = same reslut on the bottom.
