theoretically a longer shift lever would shift shoter (less throw) but it wont make any difference in "smoothness" or shifting, it doesnt effect that at all, i dont reccomend purchasing a short shifter because it actually doesnt insert the gear all the way which will in turn fry synchros and grind away teeth in your tranny, if you want a shorter look the whole cutting it down works well, we did it in my buddies integra, worked well, was more comfortable, but i agree with seth on mazdas are already short, my 84 yota was huge, and my 91 was an auto so, but anyway just my .02
