Short shifting means shifting at low RPMs.
With a manual transmission, you can wait until redline to shift which gives you maximum acceleration - that would be the opposite of a short shift.
If you want the best MPG, you shift as early as you can without bogging the engine - that is short shifting.

Ultimate Driving Experience, Ultimate Driving Machine is exactly what it is. They offer the best, most complete drive you could ever ask for. You want fast? How about turbo charged engines with direct fuel injection. You want to tackle the snow and rain? How about xDrive and quattro. You want looks? Audi, Porsche and Bimmers all are ultra sexy. In the end though, its all about getting into one and experiencing the drive. You can tell there is a significant difference in driving a BMW or Audi compared to a Mazda or Hyundai. The seats are made of leather and are comfortable. The Bose sound system is top notch. All the little things. And then its the feeling when you accelerate, and the smooth handling, and the sharp brakes, and the ability to turn heads when you're in an ultimate driving machine. No, I do not work for BMW or Volkswagen AG.

simply put, a short shift is just that. to easily answer this. lets say that you have 3 people racing the same vehicle, the best shift rpm to get the best acceleration is say 5500 rpm. a short shift would be at about 4800 rpm, then the perfect shift at 5500 rpm, then the over rev which would be anything above about 5600 rpm or higher...
