I think most people here will say they've had no problems with them. I can't stand the feel of stock Civic/Integra shifters. My $40 shifter works great, nice shift feel, and shorter throws than a Miata 6-speed shifter.

Yep, I drove a Camry 5-speed for 5 years, which had a cable shifter, no side-to-side movement of the shifter when in gear. Stock Honda shifters have a rubbery feel to them, you can move the shifter side-to-side when in gear. My short shifter plus poly bushings helped eliminate most of that feeling (mostly the shifter, bushings made only a slight improvement).
