From what I've heard, the Forbidden short shifter is the only one you should buy for the Prelude.

I don't think the 4Bidden is out yet, but yes thats an option if it is. I believe LEAN Racing makes one.
DO NOT BUY THE SHIFT ADAPTOR for $30 or whatever.

you can use the 4th gen shifter, but you have to use the 4th gen cables and bracket.

I've got 4Bidden and I love it, I also have a 4th gen.


There was a thread out for 5th gen's a while back and someone mention one from PSpec. I don't know much about them but you can ask around, here's the website.

Nothing against him, but I'm glad Lean isn't doing it anymore.

I hope everyone realizes that the only thing he was doing was taking the stock shifter, chopping off some threads and retapping, cutting off the stock bracket and rewelding, and powdercoating the shaft. Stuff you can do yourself and he was charging like $150 or something wasn't it? Crazy!

pspec doesnt answer my e-mails, that gives me reason to believe theyre out of business.

btw, whens the 4bidden coming out for the 5th gen, ive been waiting soooooooooo long, you dont even understand lol. and NO im not gonna go through the trouble of using 4th gen cables, if i pay 100+ for a short shifter i dont expect to do more work than is needed.

As I have told people recently....I've got a potential partner wanting to come on board that has a lot more time than me to make new parts a reality. Still no date but closer than we were a month ago.
