Let me say first: Nice DIY.
But I don't understand, how can your throw be shorter if you are not changing the fulcrum point of the shifter. All you are doing is basically lowering the knob. The point of engagement at the gears still remains the same, so the throws aren't shorter, it's a placebo.
And it required more force only because you shortened the rod. If the lever arm is shorter, it needs more force to push into place.
Just my .02.
