Default Who is running short shifter in your ITR's

Just curious, the stock shifter is pretty short and crisp compared to other stock, but i was wondering if you guys are running short shifter, and if you do.
what brand and any regrets, did you end up putting the stock on back on...

I used to run the B&M one, and I loved it.

Not the $50 one, but their higher model $150 one... It was awesome.

My R came with a cheap aluminum shifter that snapped when I tried to remove a seized metal shift ****. I didn't like how people can charge over $100 for a stock 00-01 R shifter, when I bought mine for $15 (and regretably sold it for $25). So I just swapped out the cheap s/s for a Skunk2 short shifter for $70. With the ES bushings and Skunk2 shift ****, the shifting is very smooth. The Skunk2 s/s is very high quality and very heavy.

Gives less of a buffer zone for errors, if you know how to properly synchronize your foot and hand you'll be fine.

Yeah, there isn't a need to shift with lightning quick throws. As long as you shift normally, you won't have a problem.

A short shifter isn't for shifting faster, but giving the driver a different feel.

thanks for the replies.

for the people that said Skunk2 SS, thats exactly what i was aiming towards.
I have the dual bend Skunk2 with the matching **** in my Si and it feels great, but i really like the way the stock ITR feels.
anyways, it seems like alot of you are staying with the stock ITR's....

Stock is good, but in my situation I really didn't have much choice.

BTW, all 94-01 shifters are the same. 00-01 Rs are just polished.



L to R: MFactory, 94-01 Integra, and 00-01 R.

I had an MFactory on my old hatch. If you like the stock, black look, it feels like the Skunk2.

Scroll down to a see a comparison with a stock shifter and an MFactory shifter... https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=4
