if you remove the stock shifter and cut the bottom rod and weld in a spacer to the rod and compensate for the extension on the plastic seat the shifter sits in will it function just like a short shifter?

From how I understand, yes it will function like a quick shifter. The longer arm below the pivot will take less distance to get in gear, and you'll need spacers to give it clearance. But why go to all the bother cutting and welding and such when you can just buy a shifter for $15-20 shipped?
