Well, I may be wrong about this, but I think the reason many of the aftermarket shifters are harder to shift is BECAUSE they are shorter. The leverage is less then with the taller stock shifter. I noticed the difference just by using a knob that set a half inch or so higher then my C6 knob. So I guess it boils down to what is easier for you to do: Just put in an aftermarket shifter, or cut some off the stock one and rethread if you need to. Actually you may gain the same benefit if you can find a really low rider shifter knob.......
