What you have done by hacking the shifter off is shorten the distance the top of the shifter(and your hand) goes.The part below the ball is still travelling the same distance.

By shortening the length of the shifter above the ball, you reduce the length your hand has to travel in order to complete the shift. Isn't that what a short shifter is supposed to do?
Besides, have you tried to take off the stock knob? It was easier for me to just cut it off.
Even if you change the pivot point, the part below the ball still has to travel the same distance to make the gear change.
