i drive a 96 accord lx sedan. as much as i would love to get a 4bidden or pspec short shifter, i just cant afford it. does anyone have any ideas on ebay short shift adapters? they look just like any name brand adapters i have seen, but you never know from just looks. any advice on the matter would be appreciated.

 

well adapters are pretty much worthless...save your money

another option that is cheap is to make one yourself out of the stock shifter...or have a company do it for you

this company can adapt your short shifter for you if you wanna research that...goodluck

 

i put one of those adapters on and it shortened up the throw a little, i think i had 12$ all together in it so i cant complain.

Personally, I think you should save up and get either the forbidden or pspec shifters. I just bought the forbidden one for $118 shipped and I think you should go that route too because its stupid to do things twice if the adapter doesnt end up doing much.

 

I thought there was going to be a group buy on the forbidden shifters but I guess it didnt happen... I'm ordering one very soon though, from what I hear, they're worth every penny spent.

Thats exactly what I heard. I will be receiving mine in the next couple days and will let you guys know how it is.

 

Hey I installed the forbidden short shifter yesterday and the damn thing kicks ***. You have to buy this and not an adapter.

 

i think someone i trying to get a groupbuy started for the newest pspec short shifter +boot+**** combo for the 5th gen and trying to get the price at $160.

mmmm pspec

 

can someone give the site to either one of those shifters. thanks

 

forbidden http://www.forbiddenmotorsports.com

and ...

pspec http://www.psepctuning.com

i personally own a forbidden and it is one of the best investments i have made to my car

 

thanks, also did you get those pics of the exhaust i sent you?

 

or you could just spend no more than 50 or 60 bucks for a prelude shifter(50 bucks BRAND NEW from Honda) and two 3 dollar parts from honda and have almost the same height and throw. thas jus what i did, when i got my swap, it came with the whole prelude shift assembly, and i just used the prelude shifter, and accord shift plate, and it looks beautiful. and you can use the stock accord shift **** and boot. nothing like stock look. I AM NOT HATING ON EITHER THE FORBIDDEN OR PSPEC AT ALL!!!, jus wanted to say that for the record cuz i wanted one of them myself for the longest time until i found out the prelude one was shorter than the stock accord one. and since it was all there for free, thats why i did it. all im sayin is its a little less expensive than spending 120-200 bucks for the forbidden or pspec.

 

does the lude shifter even have the cable pin higher up on the shifter to make the the throw shorter? if not then might as well just saw up the stock one.

 

i cant remember if it was higher or not. all i know for sure is that the lude one is about an inch or 2 shorter.

 

pspec give it to me now!!!


Damn thats a sweet ****!!

its not, i can assure you 100%. i know 100% its shorter, but i dont konw if the throw is shorter, i cant remember if the spot where hte linkage bolts is higher than the accord one or not

 

i agree. after driving my roommate's 93 prelude s i can tell you the shifter is definitely a shorter height, which makes your shifts feel closer together. i like it much better. as far as where the cables are positioned, i couldn't tell you. but that's what the short shift adapter does. it repositions your cables a little higher up on the stock shifter itself to shorten your throw, without shortening the vertical height of the shifter itself. i noticed a small difference, not a huge one. it was worth the 20 or so bucks i spent on it tho. and then there's always the ghetto method - hack off part of the shifter and then epoxy the threads back on to lower it. that works pretty decent too, but it's a lot easier to screw up.

 

i can sell you the setup that i was using before i switched to the 4bidden unit...it's basically just a cut shifter ( sits about 2-3 inches lower than stock) and rewelded...i was also using a short shift adapter to make the throws shorter...there was a difference between my setup and the 4bidden, but honestly not all that much...if you're interested, just let me know...

 

so then is the $12 part off ebay worth my time to try and hook up? or whats the cheapest way to get a shorter lever + a shorter throw?

 

i just said i'd sell the one i'm not using if you were interested...it's a shortened shifter (cut and rewelded) with a short shift adapter...the short shift adapter helps quite a bit, but the length of the shifter really matters as well...

 

and how much are you selling yours for?

 

i mean, not a whole lot, just make a (reasonable offer) and i'll probably take it...let me know via im

 

I've heard alot of good things from PSpec but nothing better than Honda OEM.
I have a 94 Prelude shifter in my 95 Coupe and its like a dream.
