I used to have a good comparison between a TRD and Stock Shifter in pictures posted, but I think I got rid of them. Essentially by cutting the stick on the stock shifter, you're requiring more force to shift as the pivot point remained in the same location. But, on the TRD shifter, the pivot point got moved in addition to the stick being shortened, so effort was only minimally affected.
