Any cb7 owners using stock base plate able to use this shifter. What modifications if any did you have to do to get it to work.

 

Bump this question up.


I have a question of my own. IF i use a Prelude shift plate, does it solve all console problems the accord has with a 4bidden shifter? Does the prelude shift plate bolt right into a 4th gen accord?

 

yeah the prelude plate does work with the 4th gen. you just have to use the cable that are for that plate. be i already have the cb7 shifter base w/cables therefore mine app. would not fit the same as a 94-97 accord or 92-96 lude base.

 

Why not just leave the stock one in there? Kinda a waste of money if you ask me. And it looks gay

 

its not only for looks.

 

leave the stock one,lol. i can't even really drive a stick. i haven't done my swap yet for one. it not just a short stick. it gives like 50% less throw. better response. quicker shifts. now you can throw in appearance last. forbidden and prospec are the only two true short shifters that work from what i have researched. many h22 owners have stated that it is the best mod they have made.

i love my pspec....pspec now makes them for all popular C sereis chassis

 

I thought prelude/accord cables (for the 90-93 accord, 92-96 lude) are the same? My plan is to use a prelude shift plate with my stock cables and a 4bidden shifter. If you use a stock accord plate, then the shift cables will rub against the console and rip it apart.

 

bump, can I use a prelude shiftplate in my cb7? and if so, will it prevent the forbidden SS from hittin my console?

 

yea i got it on my 91cb its str8 i like it no mods nedded

 

bump from the dead. So I can use a Prelude(92-95??)base plate and the forbidden shifter will bolt straight in??

 

^^^ Right on!

I have read a ton of positive reviews on this shifter, but does anyone have anything negative to say about it?

Any horror stories?

I also know that PSPEC makes one for the 4th gen, is there anything about it that is better than the Forbidden?

Maybe everyone could list PROs and CONs of each! Only first hand experience please.

Thanks

 

Thread noted and marked.

 

^^^ What do you mean? I know your a mod so that must mean something.

 

I was just reading up on the shifter at another site, and I read about a guy who had to trim a small amount off his console or his shifter rod rubbed. Also I read about clearance issues while trying to get into 5th or reverse or something (can't recall). Has anyone else heard of these issues?

 

yep, nothing new. straight from the installation link on Forbidden's website...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">9. Now when u try to put the center console back on you realize that in 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears the center console will pop up slightly because the shifter is hitting it. Proceed to trim the plastic that holds the shift boot on underneath the center console.(You are going to want to trim it as far down as directly underneath the three staples. Do not worry, your shiftboot is still very secure without these staples)

Installation Guide

I think that was on a 4th Gen Prelude. Also, I'm not positive but I think the hitting is mainly an issue when you have the cables connected to the highest (shortest shift) location. Like I said, I'm not sure but thats what I think I remember hearing before.

 

i have a forbidden on my 5th gen on the shortest throw and it doesnt hit anything.. didnt have to trim anything either.. i have a trust weigted shift ****... shifts amazing

 

^^ Do you have it on the highest setting? I am wondering if it is an issue at all setting or not?

 

yes the highest setting .. aka the "shortest throw"

 

How long have you been driving at the shorteset throw setting? Any problems to speak of?

Did you get one? If so whats been your experience with it?

 

no i didn't get one yet. my ride is out of commission for the moment plus i have yet to do my 5 spd swap. i was thinking i wanna try the stock shifter first so i will be able to feel the difference. i am just doing my homework.

 

i just put in a stock 92-96 prelude shifter in my accord, best $20 bucks ive spent on my car.

stock lude shifter isnt much longer than the pspec and if i wanted, i could make my own bracket to shorten the throw w/ like $5 in parts from home depot and it would look just like the forbidden shifter.
