huh? anyways...

I do agree with him, save up and get a real short shifter. Some people have said they had good experiences with the adapters and others have complained of a notchy feeling and other things. PSPEC and Forbidden are both good choices for a short shifter.

As for your question about whether a 94-97 adapter would fit a 90-93, I'm not sure.

Sounds good, thanks guys. I'm just wondering cuz I live in downtown Seattle now and I get stuck in traffic a lot and my truck-like throw is getting on my last nerve and I wasn't looking to spend $100 or whatever it is for P-Spec's and 4bidden's. But you get what you pay for though I guess, right??

from the pspec website: "PSPEC tuning is the original U.S. manufacturer of replacement short throw shifters for cable shifted hondas."

If they are indeed the "original" manufacturer of aftermarket short shifters for Hondas, that's hardly a reason to buy one. With that said, the PSPEC shifter is as good of a choice as the Forbidden shifter.

Adapters are junk... Ask those who have had both and they will agree. I wouldn't trust 90% of stuff sold on eBay either.

I just put one on my car yesterday and it seems harder to put it into any gear. It shortens the throw a little bit.. but almost un-noticible. Once i put a new clutch in my car im going to buy a Pspec. Adaptors are crap..

Alright guys, looks like I'm going Forbidden here, is the 94-97 shifter going to fit in my 93 EX?? I'd like to know before I drop $130 on it.
