Skunk2 Short Shifter Question
I just got a 99 civic si and i am looking for a short shifter and i realized that there are two different ones...there is a dual bend and a single bend and i was wondering like is there one better than the other or what is the big difference?

Re: Skunk2 Short Shifter Question
Are you sure its a short shifter and not a short throw shifter? Most shifters sold online as "short shifters" just have a shorter throw, but keep the same "tallness". Some find the shorter throw annoying and some say it ruins your syncros. Im not saying its true, its just passed around a lot.
I enjoy the long throw, so I got my OEM shifter, had it cut 3", re-threaded, and now I have a TRUE short shifter. It looks damn nice if you ask me.

I'm mixed. I had a short shifter, but it was just shorter in length, the throw was the same. I found I actually couldn't reach it sometimes! Plus with an ITR **** on it, it feels like a knife through butter with the longer throw.
My brother has a proper short shifter in his EG9, and it feels like an S2000 shift, very precise and crisp. But you have to be more accurate.
Put a heavier **** on first.
