although this does bring the shifter close to the steering wheel. doesnt it also increase the throws of the shifter and thereby cancelling the effect of shifting faster? just wondering not hating

I'm interested too. Can you send out of USA. I want to install them on my ITR.

From website you list, it does say "Note: Shift throw increases slightly compared to stock on 94-01 Integra models." ???

Yes I can.

Integras inherently have a shorter throw than Civics....the shifter effectively gives all the cars a stock Civic throw.

It's not as short as the typical short shifter, but it's fine and the added advantage of the great adjustability and having it as close to the wheel as you want more than makes up for not having the shortest shifts.

I got a lot of teasing from more than a couple of people when I put one in my car, but they were all converts after driving with it. I only wish a similar device were available for the cable shifter on my K motor ITR.



As this thread develops, I am probably going to have to lock it because the rules do not really allow group buys unless it is by a sponsor and in the sponsor forum. Sorry.

I don't think it's a good idea for him to say. He might not even know until he can get his details straight.

Certainly, when the money's being talked about, it's going to have to be locked.

No worries, I am not even going to run the group buy on honda-tech. I am going to host it myself. Just wanted to announce it here and see how much interest there is...I won;t even mention a price here. But I will put a link in the 1st post directing people. Is that ok?

Oh, and do you have a more clear image? I need a pic of this shifter in a DC but that pic looks a little foggy

George, I thought the K series setup is great, that if you need the shifter higher, just move the whole assembly up. This way, you don't loose the throw distance.

Rcrew made a plate, inspired from my design, which I inspired by Bota car, that you can stack as high as you want. Albeit it will be heavy.

Thanksfor the credit Andrie.

Yes I was going to chime in about the ratio of throw that Andrie touched on. I recently drove my friends B series EK with that fully adjustable JDM shifter thing-forget the brand and all. It felt great because he adjusted the height pretty high like in these pix but also adjusted the throw so that the H pattern at the shift **** was just like stock or a tad shorter. If you turn it into a shifter with a throw like in my old Chevy truck tow vehicle, oh man hello granny shifts.

Just remember the higher you go on the ****, the lower you must position the linkage pickup which will push your exhaust piping lower and lower to the ground unless you can rout it around the linkage. That will be tough.
