I picked up one of these shift ***** just because I hate the stock GSR one. This is the first weighted shift **** i've ever used. But my concern was that it's pretty damn heavy... Would this not put strain on the transmission similar to leaving your hand resting on the shift ****? Owners manuals typically say that is a no no.

 

yes
get a spoon ****

 

haha, never heard of anyone being concerned with it being too heavy and messing up the transmission.

i have 20,000 miles or so on my **** and my transmission has been fine.

 

ah alright, i just really liked the design and the size of the ****.. plus it was 30 locally. but when i picked it up (was in the box) i was like god damn what all does this **** come with, looked in it and it was just the **** that weighed that much
nothing like the ol'e tommy kaira on the suby

 

i miss my sk2 ****

 

Your shifter is bolted to the floor and connected to flexible linkage, you'll be fine

 

its perfectly fine. i have one in my dc5. feels like butter.

 

good!

 

i love my skunk2 ****

 

i use a circuit hero ball type shift ****, i love it. Really heavy in weight, 1lb something. Better Shifts

 

I love my Skunk2 ****, wouldnt trade it for the world.

no, what's really hard for the snycro is the fast banging, it's about the heavy know, short shifter or 4 bent shifter shaft.

i love my skunk2 ****, to be honest, it's okay for civic or teg(linkage) but once you have a direct shifter on transmission, you'll want a real heavy ****.

 

you will be fine. putting hand on shifter is different. when you put hand on shifter, it tend to push up or down, depends on the gear you are at it. heavy ***** will not push like that.

replica type r ***** may be lighter
looks similar to skunk2

 

I ran the Skunk2 **** for about 1.5 weeks. The shifting was too smooth with ES bushings. It felt a little unnatural, so I swapped it out for a 2006 Si aluminum shift ****. Has some weight behind it, but not as much as the Skunk2. So far it's good. Smooth but with a little resistance.
