No, but the shifter would just be shorter. A true short shifter also changes the angle needed to make a shift.

Well, it wouldn't hurt anything, but for the effort you won't get much out of it.

I've also questioned this..

The stock one is super high and until I get a short throw I'll just have to deal with it, but I'd like to at least have my shifter just a bit smaller for the time being.

If your doing it just for looks, go for it.

There's nothing like finding more projects for your car.
