What are the advantages or disadvantages of a single or dual bend shifter.

 

dual bend puts it closer to you if you are tall and cant reach it. im 6 1 and dont have a problem.

 

single bend sits farther away from you and is more "non-oem" than a dual bend. The dual bend is pretty close to stock height

 

How is a single bend more "non-OEM"? All stock Civic shifters are single bend.

 

It's more "NON-OEM" because of the fact that a single bend short shifter sits farther away from the stock height of a single bend OEM shifter piece.

 

pics would probably help the OP... if someone wants to do that for them

 

It's really more of a personal prefrence...

Note: The single bend is an OEM replacement for the 1990-1993 Integra's and 1988-2000 Civic's. The dual bend is an OEM replacement for the 1994-2001 Integra's.

the dual bend can be installed on the same cars (with little modification) as the single bend, some people say the **** position is more comfortable as it moves it back a few inches.

pretty much just looking for a short smooth tight throw. im only 5 foot 8 but have no reaching issues. pics would be nice

 

to me... i'd prefer a short dual bend shifter since it'll be closer to you and be easier for you to shift.

 

its just preference dual bend is right their for you to shift, single bend you might have to move your wrist a very little. I went from single bend to dual, and i am 5,8 and i like the dual bend

 

i just like the way the dual bend shifter sits and looks in the center console
so more stylish than ordinary single bend
