It is a short shift and, maybe just in my case, I shift a little slower than before because I can and still find the next gear quickly. I don't think these things like being "hurried" or pressured during shifting. And it is true, that the raised fulcrum point the kit produces, naturally increases stresses on the bottom end of the shift rod, because there is more rod hanging down there.
