I did some searching, but didnt find anything specific to Integras (not sure if it matters what car its for). I'm thinking of getting a short shifter for the ride, but dont know which to get. One person in another thread was saying that short shifters ruin the tranny, but everyone started hating on him like the Chappelle's Player Haters Ball, so I guess its not that bad for the tranny.

From what I'm preliminarily finding, Skunk2 seems to be a really good brand. And there seems to be a no bend, single bend, and dual bend. The difference seems to be that the dual is tilted back a bit, correct?

I'd prefer it to stay in the stock position (as far as leaning in a direction). And I want to keep my stock shifter. Is this possible?

Please provide suggestions and how much the suggestion will cost (and install price range). Thanks for all your help.

Skunk 2 is a good brand to go with, make sure you buy the bushing kit with it too, its an extra 15 bucks but well worth it. Whoever sells the short shifter should probably sell the bushing kits. Check out the sponsers market place for some good deals.

 

Are there different kinds of bushing kits or just one?

 

i have the skunk2 dual bend with energy suspension bushing on my integra and it seems to be okay. however i think the single bend is better because it gives a shorter throw than the dual. i have a single on my civic and i get very short throws. i could be wrong though. it's just my opinion.

 

Reading another thread, someone mentioned changing the **** to a Skunk2 **** as well. Does it make any difference at all what **** you use?

 

i don't know if it does make a difference, but skunk2 said it's better with their shift ****. i do have both shifter and ****. it seem alright.

The skunk 2 shift **** sbould add an extra 2-3HP its up to you tho...

 

yea the **** should take like .8 sec off your 0-60 time. c'mon a shift **** makes you shift faster? hmmm NO.

 

I wasnt implying it was for HP or anything like that, I think the person mentioned using the Skunk2 **** for the height.

 

The skunk2 dual bend will suit the integra better because the stock one has two bends. The Skunk2 shift **** is weighted to help with the shorter shift throw. It is up to you to get that as well or not. This is all about personal preference. The bushing kit is a definate must though.

skunk 2 dual bend

 

i have the skunk2 shift **** but no short shift. you can definitely feel the difference a weighted shift **** makes.

 

Anyone know how much install should be?

You jack the car up, and unbolt like 3 things, it's not hard at all,
If you have a friend that knows car stuff, have them do it even.

I've had 3 different shortshifters though, and I liked the stock one the best,
there really isn't That much difference in throw compared to some cars.

 

Instal is going to cost more than the shifter so its not really worth it... and go with the energy bushing kit like stated before
