Re: (trepteg)
I just picked up an MFactory short shifter. It looks stock and shifting is short but not too short while keeping the OEM feel. It's smooth and the **** is at the same height as the stock shifter. I recommend it.

Re: (Bangers)
I have a Skunk 2 dual bend shifter but the best mod I made to it was the Skunk ****...that thing is weighted perfectly, it makes every shift effortless...cheesey I know but don't knock it till you try it

It's all about personal preference bro, I had a skunk dual bend on an EJ2 and loved it until I got an ITR one. They were both great but even now I have a stock GSR one and don't even really mind it.

Please explain to me why a short shifter/weighted *** will cause grinds?

Sry, sarcasm. I was trying to see what half-cocked answer he would have. Another one of those things, like kids saying long gears are good for boost because "you stay in boost longer"

Because if I used locktite, I would have a hard time removing the ****. I don't see any problems using the locknut they gave me.

+1, you guys can have fun ******* up syncros but im happy with the stock ones, it shifts fast enough already. plus if you have any grinds its gonna make em a lot worse.

Re: Do you perfer a short shifter? (95teg_ls)
Ive got a B&M dual bend on my DA and I love it. The speed of the shifts was the least of my concerns when choosing one, the overall feel of it is great and it sits pretty low which I like and the dual bend brings it closer to me. So much more comfortable and solid feeling than stock or the previous short throw that was in the car.
I do agree with the statement that the stock shifter can be shifted just as fast as a short throw, so I wouldn't buy one just for that reason.

Please explain to me how short shifters will **** up your synchronizer rings? Please don't tell me that you honestly think it's because you're shifting "too fast" for the transmission.

Re: (integra racr04)
i got the oem shifter and i recently broke off some thread off it, now it's become my short shifter with about half of a inch of thread left and it feels good 
, and the good part is my numbers are upside down...

I vote the stock GSR shifter, with a weighted **** like skunk2 or blox, etc...
I had a short throw TMW shifter and **** in a tC once, and although it was a little more fun when driving aggressively, it kind of got old for casual driving. Cannot deny its excellent quality though.
Plus, I dont like to stretch to reach my shifter.

Funny, i bought the Skunk 2 Dual Bend and 440 Gram shiftnob for purely aesthetic reasons , I had a grind in second gear at high rpms (7.8-8.1k) and when i installed the short shifter i havent had it once
