New short throw shifter for the 370!

Silly physics question. How can a reduction in height of 1/4" reduce throw by 40%?

I was told that most of the throw reduction is coming from the relocated pivot points in the bottom portion of the shifter under the center console, not from the height reduction itself.

Up to 40% is talking about the height into certain gears. Namely: 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th. 3rd and 4th gear would be less.
