dont mess around, just get a forbidden and go home

I had a Ebay adapter, looked like that and it sucked. I soon got a real short shifter and love it!

From what I've read they tend to break/wear the shifter cables quickly so I removed the one that had been installed on my accord when I purchased it.

Look at the Forbidden or Pspec ones

OBX makes copies of everything. This one looks like a copy of the DC short shifter ADAPTER! Should fit, should work, but maybe not as tight of a tolerance since its OBX and not the real deal DC Sports. What does this mean, basically that it will "fit" and work. Just not completely to spec.

from my understanding none of the shift adapters worked that great regardless of manufacturer.

Default Re: Accord Short Throw Shifter Q's

I just bought a 97 accord and wondering if there are any short throw shifters out there? I searched online but couldn't find anything, Forbidden doesn't respond to email requests and Pspec is no longer making short throw shifters.

Any help is much appreciated!

Mike

To my knowledge both Forbidden and PSpec have closed up shop for the Accord shifters. You can use an OEM Prelude one which is a better shifter than stock if you're interested. There is a thread about it on HondaSociety.
