Will the 2006-2008 short shifter fit on my 2010 fa5?

Thanks

They are the exact same therefore yes it will fit.

If you're looking to use a complete short shifter, all 06+ should be the same. However, the adapters are different between 06-08 and 09+.

don't we have a stock short shifter? Why get an aftermarket one? Does OEM suck or something? (serious question)

if you get just an adaptor style short shifter, you have to remove the stock shifter assembly and grind it down so the adaptor clears the body of the shift assembly. had to do that for it to fit my 09. theres a DIY thread on 8th civic's forum.

The reason most people get a short shifter is to reduce the shift throw length. I personally prefer the OEM shifter for it's smoothness and precision (not if you have the 3rd gear grind). If I were to change it out it would either be the Mugen SS or I would just replace the stock bushings with beefier ones. Just my two pence.

The OEM si shifter is good until you try the TWM Performance Stage 2 full replacement. Everything is so much tighter and more precise; there really is no comparison. My friend has an 08 Si and I drove it with the stock shifter many times. Then he picked up the Mugen SS Quickshift thing. Honestly there was a slight improvement in the throw distance but everything else was the same. Not worth it IMO especially at the price they're demanding.

Then he bought the TWM Performance full replacement and the difference is HUGE. The throws were noticeably shorter than the Mugen SS and everything was so much tighter. I guess it's because TWM uses a full stainless steel metal construction with better bushings and clearances, whereas the Mugen unit is just a OEM unit with a slightly longer arm below the pivot point.

Also you don't get that notchy feeling with the Stage 2 that you get with alot of short shifters. It's as smooth as OEM.

And seeing as the TWM and the Mugen units are almost the same price, you get WAY MORE for your money with the TWM Performance Stage 2 than with the Mugen SS.

This is correct. The 06-08 short shifter adapter will not fit on the 09-10 without a slight modification of the OEM assembly.

Personally I would just get the TWM Performance Stage 2 though.
