my friend has a 00' gsr with a dc sports short shifter and has a problem with it heating up, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so how did you fix it, also what short shifter would you guy's recommend?

 

when was the last time you checked your tranny fluid level?

and skunk2 short shifter

 

my buddy his car seviced not that long ago... would that be the only thing? we were wondering if maybe the exhaust piping had anything to do with it??? i've heard alot about the skunk2 shifter, is the quality that much better than other companies? by the way my buddy has a dc shifter.

 

skunk2 short shifter is badass!! i love it. it also retains stock height which i give a .

 

yes, ive had this problem too... but my short shifter broke and i have to run the stock one, which doesnt get hot like the short shifter, i thought it was because it was closer to the exhaust which is RIGHT underneath it

That is probably your problem. The shifter is against the exhaust pipe and it gets really hot... It happens to a lot of people with short shifters

 

yes the exhaust does heat up your short shifter. i have a skunk2 and i love it.

 

The fact that the exhaust pipe is right below the shifter, plus the fact that the DC sports shifter is aluminum, is why it gets hot. My AutoZone shifter gets hot, too, but it's no big deal. Had it over 2 years now and it still shifts wonderfully.

 

My DC gets hot as helll.

No problems.

 

just bought an integra a few months ago and have noticed this from time to time...only thing is i dont believe it is a short shifter..althought have compared it to other 95 tegs and it seems a small amount lower..not sure =|

 

B&m short shifter works great, no heating up.. it just rattles and i need a ball joint. Anyway, just replace the shifter with another company and problem is solved

How much rattling? I just want to know because I'm about to buy one. Does it get frustrating?
And how much did you pay for you B&M? Did it come with everything it needed to be installed?

 

the rattling is annoying at first, but i got used to it and after i got exhaust i don't ever hear it anymore. I got it from a friend for $30 but i am sure you can find them on e-bay or get a local shop to order it for you cheap.
