yah, most folks buy short throws to cut down on the shift throw time which usually means they are jamming the syncro's to work harder...thus wearing them out faster.
if one's just shifting normally (just to enjoy the shorter throw) it makes no difference in the wear.
for me, i just buy a shorter weighted knob to shorten the stroke. not the same as a real short throw, but it's still shorter throw.
