It means that the distance the stick or gear shifter, that is the mechanisim that determines what gear your in, moves through the different positions in it's pattern, is short. Many feel that a shorter throw between gears feels sportier and ehances the feel and ability to control the mechanicals. It certainly can simply make it easier. Just consider the difference between say a truck driver changing gears using a long stick and typically having to move it several inches, even moving his body to do so for some positions, whereas a sports driver may only require wrist movements. Zoom, zoom, zoom!

Assuming you mean a manual transmission, since you said gear oil, there is not a dipstick on manual transmissions. Look on the side of the transmission. There will be two large nuts to drain and fill. The bottom to drain, the top to fill. You should have your fluid level with the fill plug hole. BTW, I have an 86 F-150 4x4 5.0 EFI and the NP435 4-speed manual transmission.
