All it actually does is move the bottom of the gearshifter down lower, so more leverage is used...
under the gearshifter..

Technically what you are doing is increasing the lever length from the pivot ball by adding the ball over the gear lever. The packing piece which raises the housing above the tunnel should keep the ball which engages in the shift rod socket in the same place. If it is adjusted right all gears should select ok.
The main problem with the quick shift is that you can get some crunching as it can put a bit more load on the syncros, depending how quick you rip it through the gears, especially on our older high mileage gearboxes.
