Exactly.

Some people just don't understand that point though. They think chopping the stalk is the same thing when it's not.



Chopping the stalk DOES shorten the throw . Shortening the stalk 2 inches shortens the throw by just over an inch. i'm throwing this in here for arguments sake based solely on the coments made above.



I believe the only "true" short throw shifter available for the MTX-75 is the Steeda Tri-Ax(which I have). In making this a "true" short throw, the stalk was shortened ~1.5" and the lower portion(below the pivot) is longer than stock(which is why a riser plate(or in my case a lowering plate) is necessary). Having a shorter rod above the pivot point and longer rod below the pivot point provides the shorter throws as the shift cable can travel faster.
