Generally, short shifters reduce the length of a shift between gears. They are meant more for racing applications, though some 'weekend warriors' also install them for fun.
But as far as I know, they are for manual transmission gearboxes only

Thanks, I don't think I'll need to short-shift with my 3500lb Lance on the back. :)

Yeah they shorten the length of your shifter so your hand doesn't have to move as far. Minutely faster shifts in street performance applications but good luck reaching one in a full-size ram :roflsquared:
