A short shifter isn't going to help keep you from missing shifts if your problem is with your clutchwork.
That being said, I've been missing 3rd lately for some reason (like twice in two weeks now). And I'm not talking about the "hitting 5th" or "grind and go in" type misses. I'm talking the all-out "miss the s**t out of the gear" misses where you hit the notch between 1st and 3rd a few times before you find 3rd lol
