1. Because of inertia you wont de-accelerate during shifts, the momentum you already generated will continue to push you during fast shifts.

2. If a short shifter saves you 0.5 seconds per shift... And it still takes time to shift even though you now have up to a 30% reduction in throw, how long does it take you to shift with a short shifter? 1.2 seconds... Wow!

3. I'm pretty sure you can hit 60 mph in 2nd gear with a Yaris 5 speed... But I'm not 100%. I know for a fact you wont have to shift 3 times.

A short throw MIGHT save you about 0.25 of a second from your 0-60!
