new to the forum, cheers guys.

im about to get a short shifter for my 98 hx,
just wondering what the difference is between a single bend and a dual bend.
which one will give me the shortest pull?
also is b&m a legit company?

 

hi newber. Dual bend will place the shifter closer to you. Yes b&m is legit.... and try search there is plenty of info on this. Welcome

 

thanks alot man

 

my buddy just installed a skunk2 duel bend and it feels great, but its hella stiff, he wants to know if theres any way to make it more smooth. any ideas?

 

My advise, go oem and use a GSR shift lever, it's a double bend too, it fits and works perfect, better than the B&M in an EK

 

agreed . GSR shifters are great. a buddy of mine has one in his 97 coupe.

 

sup, im new to this forum too.
i have a skunk2 dual bend short shifter in my delli and it works great.

 

?

 

it pulls great

 

B and M is great, but there more known for the chevy's

 

When you install the shifter there is a fine line on how much you tighten the rod... Too loose and it will be sloppy and too tight and it will be hard to shift... It took me a couple times playing with it before I got it just right... Also get the energy suspension bushings, nothing makes a bigger difference than those...

 

hey orange park, does the prelude shifter mount different than the del sol? cause I wanted to order those and I think my shifter base got swapped with the H23

PS I am from eagles bluff, and grew up out on kingsley

 

I honestly couldn't tell you man, I am not overly familiar with H series engines or Preludes for that matter... I wouldn't want to give you the wrong info...

I just moved here 2 months ago from MD and absolutely love it... Moving to FL has changed my life...

 

skunk 2 is the way to go !

 

The Prelude shifter will not work.

 

im using a gsr stock shifter in my 97 civic. i love it, throw is just right and it feels great. dont spend like 100 bucks from b&m for the same thing....

if you get a cheapo short shifter that makes the throw too short, sometimes it makes it harder to shift and easier to miss gears, plus you run into exhaust fitment issues.

 

right.

 

what are energy suspension bushings?
