the extra bend helps get the shift *** sit higher and closer to the driver.

the dual bend is closer to the driver....i prefer the dual bend over the single but to each their own...go with what feels comfortable to you

it doesn't come with its own bushings? I was under the impression that all shifters came with their own bushings.

anyways, for the most part, dual bend feels more comfortable to me, even though I have long arms. i like having my hand closer to my knee, rather than having to reach.

You need to buy one that will fit a honda.
