Save your synchros, bin it.

A short throw shifter does not allow faster gear changes. It just changes the lever ratio between the stick and the forks. Shorter throw means more force needs to be applied, along with more precision.

I have never seen that particular short throw, but it does look like tons of ebay jobbies, meaning it will also leak. That is caused by the design, not much to do to prevent it except cut and adapt some gaskets ... which, considering you cannot figure how to install this part, will be particularly hard to do.

If you insist on installing this thing, better change the white pastic thingy on the end of the lever. It is cheap and easier to change now than later. Some people put a bronze part instead of the plastic part, i guess it slows wear.
