hey guys as far as the grinding in 3rd goes i heard from a local honda specialist who has an 06 si that the shortshifter helped with his grinding. just curious to see what yall think about the idea...thanks

 

Yeah i got a short shifter too .Its amazingg it works really well and its very comfortable too i got mine from http://www.twmperformance.com its reallyyy goodd ..i think you should get one ..and offcours it stops all the griding issues with 3rd gear ..an alll ..! Good Luck ..!

 

how much after install???

i can't do that stuff myself. Even if i could, i am not to be trusted.

 

Hi jaepalm,

The install is actually one of the simplest of any of the short shifters we manufacture. Most of our customers perform the install themselves. Here is a link to the page where you can download the install manual to get an idea of what is involved, scroll to the bottom for the download link: TWM Civic Short Shifter.

If a shop installs it, they shouldn't charge more than 30-45 minutes for the install.

Thanks for the feedback guys,

Yeah, I installed it myself and I don't trust myself to know jack about cars. The only tricky part is taking off the blue cap thing (you'll see what I'm talking about). Put a towel down over the opening so it doesn't fall into the console and you'll be fine. Absolutely give it a try.

By the way, this DOES NOT fix the grinding problem, it just reduces the feel of it. Think about it: you haven't changed anything about your transmission, only the fulcrum/lever of how your shifter moves.

 

luke, i got the MTF changed according to the bulletin thing for Honda. even though I was out of warrantee they did it for me for free. i must say it IS better. it's only been a couple thousand miles since the change though...may get bad again.

I think they put in the genuine honda mtf in there.

 

I think I mght order one... I thought t factory was short enuf.... Id like to feel the diff
