I haven't used it, but as to your question "is it true", yes it is.
I have used this kind of kit on other cars. It will shorten the throw as
advertised, but it also increases effort (not a big factor with the
ribcase) and reduces control a little.
It might be a matter of personal preference as well. When I installed my
5-speed, I experimented with different length shift levers and it made a
big difference to the feel of the transmission.
Go for it! :-)
