So basically you would need a spacer if you wanted to greatly decrease the amount you physically need to move it and with a longer portion under the pivot point you would be actually moving the shift linkage farther with less motion of your hand.

That's what a real short shifter is.

I agree to a point.

You can either raise the pivot point, or shorten the shaft above the pivot point.

I have made a short shifter for my Tercel by cutting 2" out of the shaft above the pivot point and having it welded back together. That shortened the hand movement quite a bit.
