dual makes the shifter sit closer to you...i'd recommend if you have a 96-00 civic i would get the dual bend, since our shifters sit way far from the driver....anything other than a 96-00 civic a single bend is fine trust me.

if you are feeling it bend either you are beating your shifter or you got a cheap one.

I also prefer the single bend, it sits a bit further up but you get more leverage on shifts imho

New bushings will help you more then a new shifter.

What are you a sissy?! j/k

The Civic shifter is pretty smooth and doesn't take much effort, how much more leverage do you need?
