Like, will it affect anything over time?
I had no issue with it at all, but it was only installed for about 6 months.
Only reason I took it out was because I got an actual short shifter, not adapter.

I had notchy shifting, which led to grinding my gears. It went away when I returned it to stock. A short shifter is putting the shifter cables in a constant state of "partial shift". Perhaps it's not harmful, but my experiences showed otherwise.
I also had an adapter... mine was Neuspeed (which is what OBX ripped off of, since they're nothing more than a copycat company.... albeit a good one.) My adapter kept falling off, no matter how much I tightened it. You might want to put some loctite on that hex bolt that keeps it in place.

Take your shifter. Push on it without depressing the clutch pedal. Feel the resistance. You can feel the vibration of the clutch. That is because you're pushing on the cable.
Now, a short shifter shortens the length of the cable's travel. Essentially, it's like you are ALWAYS pushing a bit on that lever.

agreed..^^^
my yeamans DIY short shifter.. well.. i guess im a bit of a brute.. cause it broke off.. the welded point that he added(higher than stock.. luck for me the stock point was still there..
so while be stranding in a parking lot.. i said fuck it..and put it back to stock..
O.M.G.. the butter shifts.. lol.. it felt so nice to drive again..
idk all the reasons behind it.. but ill loose the .5 of a second because my shifts take a little longer.. for a much smoother driving experience

Having to try 3 times to slam mine into gear wasn't saving me any time! I also did a 3rd gear redline to 2nd gear shift once... most of the H22-equipped staff has... I'm the ONLY one fortunate enough not to have blown up! That's when it went back to stock!
Maple also broke a modified stock shifter. I think he snapped the Fushigi one (two, actually... I think.) Yeamans shifter was basically just a copy of the Fushigi one... not that there was much to copy. It did nothing different than an adapter, but instead of bolting a piece on, a new mounting point was welded on. Nothing fancy.
