1. they're made of aluminum. the stock one is made of steel. steel works as a better counter weight against your steel linkage. you'll notice a notchy feel in between gears with an aluminum short or short throw shifter.
2. length. short throw shifters tend to be shorter than your oem steel shifter. requiring the driver to reach more for the shifter and having to use more effort to push/pull the shifter to the desired gear. think of as using a socket wrench. the longer it is the less effort you need to tighten or loosen a nut or bolt.

^ ya you're right, now that you mention it my gears are notchy going in with my short throw shifter. I always wondered why, now i know. But i do like the fact that the gears go in so fast, my buddys DA is like a huge shifter and changing gears feels weird lol.
