I use a Revo short shifter mainly because the only other option is a Neuspeed adapter. The Revo is a pretty decent shifter but if B&M decides to come out with one for my car, ill get that instead.

Me too. I hate short shifters. I am actaully looking into a taller shifter (W/ an OE throw of course).

ITR shifter and linkage here. Had three different short shifters on past vehicles. They ALL caused tranny problems. Out they came. Crap in my opinion.

For Drag Racing, I really dont like them. You want a shifter that you know where the gears are. With short shifters, its so close that you may mix them up and misshift.

Never had short shifter in any of my cars. Lead to tranny problems, especially on cable trannies.

Re: how many of you guys use short shifters? (XXXRacing)

i had a short shifter in my car for 2 races, i think it was related to my problem going into 4th gear... took it out and replaced it with a stock shifter, and never had a problem again...

Re: (DIRep972)

short shifter lead to trans problems.. early failure... the differing positions of the ball leads to syncro problems which lead to grinding gears.. I personally hate short shifter and hate selling them to customers..

Why would you change the stock shifter out for a type r one? 94+ Integra shifters are all the same.

Re: how many of you guys use short shifters? (b00stedbyFastrax)

Here is what I run in my K20-EG. Its a stock DC5R shifter box mounted on a small box to space it up higher, its perfect for dragging, takes a little while to get used to it but its mint..
