Re: Group Buy : Z3 short shifter for E36
the decrease basically refers to the throw / distance it takes to move from one gear to another
in racing, faster gear shifts means faster acceleration - think SMG of the ///M cars - they have a button below the gear lever which basically increases the shift response
in simpler analogy, take the length of a normal pencil
if the writing end is first gear and the eraser tip at the end is 2nd gear, that's the length you travel from 1st gear to 2nd gear
with an SSK, depending on the % decrease mentioned awhile ago, shorten the ballpen length by that percentage
the new length of the pencil should represent the distance from one gear to another
basically, shorter distance = shorter time to shift gears = ideally, faster acceleration
