Re: b&m dual bend short shifter (ieatrice)
I have a skunk2 SS, i like the dual bend design, points the shifter more towards the front. I didn't like my old b+m shifter though, snapped it after 6 months of use....

i've snapped two actually........
the b+m was the better of the two, broke at the bottom of the threads. I hear many people avoiding this problem by putting an aftermarket shift **** on it. If you keep the stock shift **** like i did it seems to put more stress on the threads due to it's high fitment.
The first one was a generic, "i-just-want-a-short-shifter" short shifter, only cost me $20, but it broke at the ball joint b/c it was actually two peices of metal welded together.....
i love my skunk2 though

Re: (T.J.)
Given any thought to just picking up a stock gsr shifter (it is a dual bend) for cheap on ebay and just having the end that mounts to the shift linkage cut down a bit to fit the civic shift linkage? Its almost exactly 10mm too wide. You would have to cut a little material from both ends.

it's easier jsut to open up the shift linkage a little. done this with a couple of the other shifters i've had when compared to the stock one.
