I also use the Skunk2 and have had no issues. Much better feel to it then OEM. I Also have the ES shifter bushings.

Fastline Performance shifter FTMFW. If you do any tracking/auto-x at all you will fall in love with it.

Another vote for the FastLine Performance (FLP) road-race shifter. You can adjust it so that you barely have to take your hand off of the wheel to shift, the throw is stock, and shifts are more accurate. It's also steel, improving the durability and shift-feel over aluminum shifters.

I've had a dual bend off brand shifter since 01. It's very short in height and throw which is find for me being as I only 1320 my car. E/S inserts are a must and give it a real tight feel of precision.

I've owned a B&M Dual Bend and a Straight shifter from them. (the 40-60 dollar one. not the expensive one) and loved it.

I'm going to use the Skunk2 unit in my R when I'm ready to replace the stock unit.

I've owned, B&M's, DC-Sport, Skunk2 and a couple ebays. Dcsport doesnt make em anymore.

B&Ms are great for the money.
I just want my skunk **** to match the shifter

Read up a few post. This is the second B&M shifter I've owned and have been happy with the hight and throw thus far. I put one on my '99 si back in the day. Only thing I have to check on is a vibration noise coming from that area. It may not be the shifter itself but something that I did when I reinstalled it. It get's bad in the higher RPM range and if I shift up it goes away.
