Shift *****..
I'm getting a short shifter and I'm kinda lost as to what the good brands are, and what ***** have good weights.. I see a skunk2 **** thats supposedly weighted nicely. I want a lot of throw reduction and nice weighting..
Tried searching on this, but the search service is down indefinitely for some reason..

Re: Shift *****.. (Castor)
I like the skunk2 combo. Dual bend and the weighted shift ****. The dual bend will place the shifter and **** closer to you so you don't have to reach as far to shift.
I used a dc short shifter for a while. I prefer the skunk2. The weighted **** is the best.
The only down side is the **** gets really hot during the summer and really cold during the winter.

Yeah I know but I'm one of those dumbasses whose totally obsessed with things that are MADE for it. Like OMG this cover doesnt work as good as my hat but its _made_ for it! how nifty!

Re: Shift *****.. (Castor)
I like my dual bend skunk2 w/ skunk2 ***. It's heavy and the feel is great sometimes when I can just flick my finger and it'll shift into gear for me.

Re: Shift *****.. (Castor)
i had the same problem and call me crazy but I just used a baby sock it worked great to keep the heat off but it still gets cold. but if you leave it on it helps the cold.

Re: Shift *****.. (trav)
I like the look of the Mugen ****, but I didn't realize weight can really affect performance and shift-ability. Anyone have more input on the weight thing?

When I went to the Spoon duracon shift ****, I could feel the gears engaging a little better (the **** ins't as heavy so it doesn't dampen the vibrations and all as well), but other than that, they have little to no effect on the actual shifting.

Re: Shift *****.. (Ricey McRicerton)
I've had a Skunk shift ****, mugen, leather razo that weighed like 400 grams, and now a plastic razo that weighs almost nothing. I like them all. The weight doesn't seem to make a significant difference in shiftiung ability, it's all just preference.

Re: (b-clubspecII)
I don't mean to steal the thread, but while we're on the subject, I have a question. Check out these links and tell me how you feel about their quality, contstruction, fitment, etc.
I like the long Mugen style **** better...I think. I'm shopping for a **** myself.

The top 2 I assume are the same, but one description gives a better pic. What are these made of? (I'm assuming metal, and I think they are all threaded for specific Honda/Acura) Give me some input! (NOT thread stealing...just going on a small tangent for a bit)

I don't like the light weight *****, I broke one off during a race going into 2nd, I had to hold the stick at the bend to finish the race! I won
If you have ever tried the skunk2 **** you would know a little more weight feels better.
