I was thinking about purchasing a type R shift lever instead of going with something else like skunk2 or something. When I look up the shifter lever it seems that there are two different ones. In 97-98 it gives me the parts code: 54101-ST7-000, and in 2000-2001 it gives me the parts code: 54101-ST7-Z00. The 97-98 spec shifter is a bit more expensive also. I was wondering if there are any differences between the two, and if so, what are they? Is one of a better qualitly/feel? Also, are they both dual bend? Any light shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

97-98 you get the leather wrapped **** with red stitching, 00-01 is the aluminum **** with the red numbers. Both are great IMO just depends on what you like.

 

Oh I was talking about the actual shift lever, not the ****. Sorry, guess I wasn't specific (edited). Thanks for the info though. Still wondering what the difference is in the lever itself between the years.

 

Shifters themselves were the same (dimensions) except one was normal black and the other was polished.

 

do you know which one was polished and which one was black? Are they made out of the same materials? Thanks.

 

Both are steel. 97-98 were black and 00-01 were polished.

97-98 middle, 00-01 right

 

Thanks thats exactly what I needed to know. Appreciate it.

 

 

But, the one on the far left will shift with less movement.

Whatever it is.... Check out the Heel&Toe shifter for real performance.....

I think BlueIntegraBoy knows everything there is to know about Integras. I swear you're in every thread

 

Correct, the left one is an MFactory short shifter

 

Just in case you didn't know, his bedroom is the back seat of his R and the front seats are the livingroom. LOL

 

not trying to thread jack, but does this come with everything pictured above or do you have to order the inner pieces as well? i put an arrow next to the part that i am talking about.

 

You need to order the sleeve and o-rings

 

how does that mfactory one perform?. does the shift feel alot shorter...?

 

Slightly shorter. It is like a Skunk2 shifter.
