Some told me the samething. Not sure why you would need a short shifter in a Honda. I think Hondas have one of the smoothest and fastest shifters out there.

Learn to shift quickly without shifting hard. 60K miles on my GS-R and 180K miles on my CRX with many quick shifts and no grinds.

yea just because you have a short shifter dosent mean you can throw it as hard as you did/can with the stock one. its a much faster shift you can be slower with it. i use my stock one, its a quick shift. even with a lightened flywheel i beat the rev drop.

It's user error. You are shifting too hard and/or your timing is off with the new shifter. Think, the shifter is merely a lever and does nothing internally to the transmission. You're in control of the lever.

yeah agree with "You are shifting too hard and/or your timing is off with the new shifter. Think, the shifter is merely a lever and does nothing internally to the transmission. You're in control of the lever."
