i bought my 05 type-s from an acura dealer like 4 months ago and it came short shifted. ok problem is dat w/this short shifter all my gears are from the center of the shift boot to the top and when am shifting i kinda have to stretch out to put 1-3-5 gears into place i was wondering if all rsx short shifers were this way???? my buddy tld me dat its probably on the wong way or it really wasnt meant for my car.....plz help out....any opinions on the buddy club ss????

 

shouldn't be that way
must be installation error or incorrect part

 

hey i just found out that my short shifter is b&m...is that particular ss bad for the rsx???

 

any grinds or kink sounds from the linkage, if its wrong installation im pretty sure the short throw is the only thing that can be installed backwards and your shift to first, third, and fifth is super short, but the rest is longer than usual. i've heard some bad reports from b&m like the shifter braking inhalf, other than that haven't heard your case

 

well da shifter feels pretty strong but all i hear are regular noises from the linkage just like stock, but nothing looks outta place and it doesnt look like anything is installed wrong. ifthat should be the case wat should i look for that might be backwards like u said??

 

you may want to get rid of that immediately. the B&M are notorious for breaking your shifter cables

 

will do man i was just trying to find out info about thiss short shifter, but do any of u have any opinions on the buddy club short shifter??? is it a good short shifter???

 

i have it on my car, i love it. shifts are alot shorter. you may not want to put it all the way short because it still puts stress on the shifter cable. i have mine in the middle

 

well then ima order 1st thing tmwr morning. how much did u get it from and from where??? and also i dnt know too much about short shifters just beggining to learn but what do u mean by "putting it all day way short" cuz mine i believe it has two holes

 

and by the way is dat adjusting the throw of the shifter???

 

i also have the buddy club short shifter on my type-s. Its amazing to say the least. Yes the throw is adjustable. When you have it on the shortest setting its crazy close. All around the shifter feels way solid and the gears feel like they lock in. One of my favorite mods by far. The heighth of the shift **** is about a 1/2 to 3/4" lower than stock. Install is straight forward and very easy to do if you have basic mechanical skills. You can get them on clubrsx.com for roughly 130 shipped.
