Haha, make sure you do it properly.

My uncle has a Saab 9-5 Aero and he tried to install a short-throw kit. It didn't sit right or something, and now you actually have to NAIL the shifter to the left to get to first or second gear. It has too much play too...so it's pretty messy and you won't be certain of what gear you're in.

Don't short-shifters add effort in the process too?
