Im sure theres tons of info about short shifters if you use the search link at the top right. but ill give ya some info...

I have used a generic short shifter from ebay for over 2 years. I love it. Only cost $20.

Just get some bushings for them.

You can go with more expensive ones if you want. People seem to like them also. But i have heard just as many stories about dc sport's breaking as i have generic ones. But jsut dont shift as hard as you possibly can and i dont think there would be a problem.

If i had to buy an aftermarket short shifter it would be the double bend gsr Skunk2 shifter. Very nice.

FifthGearOnline

if you get one make sure its made of STEEL not aluminum(sp) like alot are


i have a skunk2 in my 99dx with neuspeed bushings and its awesome

i dunno much about short shifters, so y is STEEL better than the aluminum?

guess it would be stronger? i have some shifter i dont even know what it is (came with my auto to manual conversion) quite frankly it sucks i like stock ones better feels way more acurate, when i put it into gear i can move it all over the place while in gear, and its hard to shift quickly and accurately into gear cuz if u push to much it would grind any idea what kinda shifter i got here? or maybe i just cant shift properly? also it vibrates, makes noise and what not here n there

steel is better because it is a stronger material than aluminum. i'd go w/ the skunk2 shifter w/ prothane bushings.

Ziggie

The heavier the shifter the better/stronger it is. Also because it is shorter you can switch gears faster.

Skunk2s are good and around $100-$125. http://www.tornactive.com sells them for $105.

I heard the best short shifter is C's. I don't know where you can buy them though. Plus they are expensive maybe like $200??

I just recently put an "Ebay special" short shifter with Energy Suspension bushings while I changed my clutch out. Its been two days already - I've been breakin' the clutch in, so I haven't been driving extremely hard. But the Short shifter feels awesome!! I like it a lot. It's very direct, and it feels sooooo nice compared to before when I had a stock shifter. The short shifter is the same height as stock - I was surprised, because I thought a "cheap" shifter would look a lot lower than stock..but its not. The throw is shorter, nothing else.

i have an ebay shifter too. mine is also stock height, but shorter shifts. does your hit your exahust? mine did. i had to rig the hanger up to make the exahust hang lower by the shifter. mine doesn't have any bushings, just a washer, so it kinda sucks. i like the gsr stock shifters the best out of any honda i've driven.

I had a generic one in my 89, and I have a DC in my 92. The DC is much nicer, the through is shorter but not to short like my generic shifter. And a freind broke his generic shifter.

http://www.jdmspecperf.com has the C's short shifters. simply the best and the heaviest shifters out there. i had a single bend skunk2... i liked it a lot but the C's blows it away.

Ivan

I hope it's the best... it costs more than $300! It looks good though, just wish I could afford one.

You can see my Edelbrock short shifter installed here. For a review on it, click the above link.

hmm it really is just a piece of medal that is bent ect ect

name brands i dont think really make that much difference

and like with the skunk2, there is hype that a heavy *** **** is better. damn i hated my POS skunk2 setup. right now i have stock itr shift linkage and it feels really good

Nextelbuddy

well i have the stock type r shifter that came with my swap and it is short to me and i have had other short shifters b4. the type r shifter is oem and it owns

mssEK4

driven a 99si with a generic short shifter. Matrix was the brand. Cheap but i loved it

bonta-kun

what kind of bushings do u need to get cuz i got a generic double bend but i dunt wanna put it in with out the bushings TIA

JDMC5

Skunk 2 Double Bend is what I have, I love it, but it dosn't sit as low as most people like. I'm also hitting my B-Pipe because it sits too low. Other than that its real nice. I would check out B&M also.

mrcch

Just installed a double bend Skunk2 shifter and **** with ES Bushings, so far it is much better than stock.

Inigo Montoya

I have a b&M short shifter with some of the es brushings I would sell to you for 40 bucks. I have never used it, and it has just been sitting in my closet doing nothing. Good quality, good heft, send me an IM if you want it.

pdiggitydogg

i have a used b&m that I am taking out tomorrow (used for several months tops)
sell it to ya for 30
