You obviously missed physics class. A rod is on a pivot, the longer the rod, the further you need to move the end, and the less effort needed, to do the same amount of work as if the rod were shorter. Just grab your shifter from the bottom and shift and you will see that you will not have to move your arm nearly as much, but it will be harder.
