Check the thread thats been going for a while on this, It is just a poll on 2 shifters, but everyone has put they're opinion in on what they like as well. Skunk2 dual bend for me though.

The $60 B&M shifter and a set of Energy Suspension shifter bushings and a new spring pin from Honda will make your shifter feel like an orgasm every time you shift.

I had a cheap ***(FREE) APC short shifter an bought a pack of energy bushings for it and the shift is so much better now. Probally will upgrade to a B&M later on but school took all of my money since classes are back in.

You're all wrong.

The best short shifter isn't short at all.

Most people prefer the skunk 2 shifter paired with a skunk 2 ****. The dual bend just positions the shifter closer to the driver so its all in the driver. I use a gsr shifter modified to fit onto d-series linkage with energy bushings and a tsudo (type r copy) weighted ****.

Skunk2 though the finish on mine is rubbing off coz of the shift boot ring vibrating on it. Shifting is like fingering a vagina=so soft and smooth but you gotta pair it with ES bushings.

Find me a C`s shifter and I`ll trade you my skunk2 + **** + bushings, heck + shift linkage.
