You could do that. That's the ghetto way of getting a short shifter. You won't hurt anything, but it'll just be farther to reach and slightly short shift travel.
I have an APC dual bend short shifter (painted flat black) and a black Type R replica shift knob I'll ship to you (in Sac) for $15 paypal (shipped).
