stock FTW, I have a short shifter and I don't like it. I'm going to go with the stock GSR shifter with ES Bushings.

Why not just try both out and then decide for yourself.

i just like peoples opinion and saving money. i have tried a car with a short shifter and it just doesnt feel right for track. everyone tells me if staying oem stick with the gsr shifter. what im also trying to figure out is what year gsr shifter will fit the crx.

short shifters feel klunky as ****, the stock shifter feels so nice, who cares if the throw is a little longer, most people don't even know what a correct shift is.

If you have a b-series the GSR shifter is a direct bolt in.

If you have a d-series the lower mounting piece will have to be modified to fit the d linkage. I just removed the brass bushing inside the shifter. cut to same size as the d and installed the stock d-shifter bushing in the modified shifter. It is shorter than stock throw and feels perfect. Oh yeah I got the Mugen bushings too.

Im running a ITR shifter with Prothane bushings on both my rides and absolutely love it! I have one on my 89 CRX B18C1 swap with avid racing shift linkage, and also my 94 hatch with D-series SOHC VTEC (modified/trimmed) to fit D-series shift linkage. Best shifter hands down!

i agree with whoever said try it out for yourself. what you might like, i might not, and visa versa. your car, your decision. there are mixed feelings about short throw shifters. but the feeling that counts is yours.

I've gone through 3 shifters now, stock, B&M short shifter (straight no bends) and a GSR shifter. Hands down I like the GSR best. Just my opinion.
