Re: Skunk2 Dual Bend
yes you will def notice a difference when I first switched mine out from stock I kind of didn't like at first because I felt like the gears were way to close but than I got used to it about 30 mins later and loved it lol what I like about skunk2 is that its made of steel that wont brake and doesn't brake or vibrate at first I had a cheap $15 ebay one because I thought there would be no difference and I had no cash but it was made of aluminum and would rattle like crazy and annoy me that I didn't even want to drive...skunk2 is def worth the money oh and yeah short shifters mean a short throw not an actual shorter shifter stick lol

Re: Skunk2 Dual Bend
I just finished swapping a gsr into my eg6 and yesterday was my first test drive!!!
I have put 175 miles on it so far and it has been fun doing it.

Re: Skunk2 Dual Bend
The shift is reduced the same regardless of the bend in the shifter.
The shift is also the same regardless of the length of the actual shift lever.
What changes the shift is the length of the points between the shift linkage and where the shifter bolts onto the stabilizer bar.
You can have a 3 foot long short shifter if you wanted, many road racers do.
I have a skunk2 dual bend and absolutely love it. One of the few things that kept the car fun while I saved money for 5 years for my swap. Easily one of the "essential" mods I have. That and the Recaros, (God, stock civic seats are awful)

To elaborate on this, the closer the **** is to the steering wheel, the faster you can shift. Driving with one hand on the **** and one hand on the steering wheel is terrible form, stupid, and dangerous.

Re: Skunk2 Dual Bend
I've had my junk2 shifter for 6 years now and had no issues. A lot of people swear by them. it's 6 of one, half-dozen of the other. It's a pretty simple part.
I definitely like the heavy/comfy shift ****.

doood - cant find that shifter anywhere.
the skunk2 has a bearing where the shift linkage hooks up and the b&m doesnt. Does that bearing really make a difference
