@White64Goat I appreciate the question. It is good to challenge people's results.

I had a tripod setup in my car and the top video was recorded from the exact same angle with maybe 1% movement between the recordings. The reason the travel looks the same in 2,4,6 was because the neutral position of the Kartboy Short Shifter is different than OEM. It sits lower.

Here is my science
As you can see the neutral position of the Kartboy is further back than the OEM shifter.

I have more science. Here is comparison shots of the OEM shifter vs Kartboy Short Shifter in their shifter travel. Concentrate on the overlap of the knob. You can see the travel of the Kartboy Short Shifter is much much less than OEM. (I apologize for hard to see):
