Making a true short shifter

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Hey guys, I was just thinking about something, and I wanted your input. I already have a B&M short shift adapter, but it doesn't reduce the throw that much, though I like it.

Has anyone actually taken the stick out, cut out a 1 inch or so piece from the bottom section, and re-welded it? I have heard speculation that this would work, but would it? Just want some opinions.

Thanks guys... and ladies :p
