I just installed a Comptech Short Shift kit (about $86 including shipping) on my '07 Sedan Si and I am very pleased with it. The packaging says "2006 Si" but it works just fine in the '07 as well.

This is a very easy install, even the the brain dead can figure this one out with the excellant instructions included in the kit. It took me about 40 minutes to fumble my through the install, but someone who is on top of things could do it in about 10 minutes.

Adding about an inch or so of extra length to the bottom of the standard shift lever, the short shift kit reduces the amount of distance the top of the shifter (****) has to move to engange the next gear. The cable connected to the transmission still moves the same amount so there is no worry of only partially engaging a gear.

The result is a shifter that "snicks" from gear to gear in a short, crisp manner. The only downside (and it is small) is that the reduced leverage on moving the tranny cables means that the effort to changes gears increases by about 10%. Not much different, but enough to notice.

And for God's sake, change your tranny fluid to Amsoil MTF to avoid the 3rd gear probelms so many people are experiencing.

I won't mind changing the tranny fluid, but will the dealer cover it under warranty, or will they charge me to have it changed out??

 

Where are you guys buying the amsoil mtf?

Change it yourself.

 

I bought the Amsoil MTF direct from Amsoil's web site.

No, your Honda dealer will not change it for you for free. In fact, they will deny there is anything wrong with the Honda MTF.

I took my two quarts of Amsoil MTF to my local "quicky lube" place and they were happy to put it in. Check to make sure they have a hand pump to do the job, most of them just have a powered gun to squirt their generic stuff into your tranny.
