Amen. For the 99% daily driver or weekend toy 1% track duty, OE throw is where most want to be. Change your shift knob and dial in a preferred transmission fluid will be your better money spent IMO. To get through these shift gates you need good lube and leverage. A weighted shift knob will act as a leverage modifier as force is applied with momentum. A short throw will usually require more effort as leverage is given up in favor of shorter travel. Which means you'll have to be even more accurate in your throw to hit the right gate. Smashing the lever between the gates is when you throw the dice on over-throw and whether you'll face a money shift, skip shift, or just an over-rev.
