I just wanted to let whoever made it a good idea to make a short shifter for the RSX know that they are probably the most inconsiterate s.o.b. that could possibly be know to man..lol... I say this becasue this weekend while at the beach due to the short shifter, it totally distroyed my shift linkage cable, it broke clear in half from the shifter housing bracket...So i just wanted to let everyone know who might have a short shifter to return it back to stock...

 

did u get the B&M one? cause its known for that issue

the BuddyClub and Revo ones dont break the shift linkage...also the neuspeed / comptech / dc adapter SS are good too

 

I have the revo shifter .. It's by far one of my favorite mods.

 

this does happen but not that often
most people say its an install error
but what do i know, i don't even have a shortshifter

 

now im buying one for sure.. i was gona wait till payday but i cant wait now using the credit card.. cant wait for it to get here. because im never ever gona worry about that problem ..

and this is why you don't buy short shifters (besides them being completely useless and a mind set item, doesn't help any performance for anything but ruin synchros and in this case snap shifting cables)

 

I was going to buy a short shifter..but i dont want one that feels so hard to get into gear..any recommendations on one that they are really happy with?!?

Yeah your stock shifter

 

ha

 

short shifters dont make it hard to get into gear, just make it feel more solid. if that's not for you then don't get one.

 

ive shifted the revo one in my buddies type S and was pretty shocked how terrible it felt. though i did not drive it but it felt really stiff compared to my 5th gen prelude that has a SS.

 

all our cars have very very short thors.. the rsx makes me feel like im driving a truck .. so thats why i do the bcss

 

i used a twm short shift adapter in my k swapped civic. The angle was off for the cable and I bent the shift cables on the test drive. I've heard the buddy club one works well and rsx and swap cars haven't had a problem.

After my experience with the twm I'm sticking to oem.

 

The stock shifter is so loose. When I got my revo I was suprised at how nice it tightened things up. Of course you can adjust how the throw feels.

If you complain about a short shifter then if you got an s2000 you would really be in for a suprise. Even at the shortest setting on the revo it doesn't compare to how short the s2000 is.

I dunno what's wrong with your shifter.. but mine seems nice and fine.

 

the b&m short throw shifters are known to bend **** so if that's what you had then it's your fault that you didn't research the product before you bought it
