What kinda short shifter do u guys recommend, brand, bend etc? And whats your experience with it like?

 

don't get cheap ones, they break.

I have the skunk2 shifter on dc gsr linkage in my DA and have no complaints

 

thanks for all the responses guys.
should i go dual or single bend short shifter? does it make a difference?

 

Well when you order I believe you'll see that dual is for 94-01 and single is for 90-93.

 

ok kool i have a 97 GSR so dual bend it is.
hmmmm now to decide which brand to get. some help here guys.
so far im leaning towards skunk2 and B&M? i really do hope i feel definite shorter throw wit this mod. cut the stock throw not cutting it for me.
i planning on drag racing btw

 

skunk 2 allll d way peeps

 

I have a dc sport short shifter in my da and a itr short shifter in my dc i prefer the itr shifter for daily driving but the dc sport shifter is pretty good for racing

 

I Have a B&M. Fully adjustable with racing linkage. It works really Well and feels great

 

i have a b&m dual bend. there fairly cheap 60 bucks altogether at password jdm.

 

do all you guys feel the actual difference in the shifting with your short shifter?
what do y'all prefer the short shifter or the stock ?

 

yeah it makes a bigger difference its shorter throws. but it all depends on how comfortable it is to you. i personally prefer a short shifter.

 

I have a TWM Performance dual bend short shifter. They have 3 different models that range in throw reduction and shifter hieght. The dual bend is the least aggressive and "closest" to stock while still giving a nice reduction in throw.

Ive had mine for 4 years and it works as well now, as it ever did...And alot of my friends have TWM shifters too and I've never heard of a problem.

 

i have the skunk 2 on my 97 GSR and i LOVE it!!!

 

If I buy a http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/pe...hifter-p-12624 then don't you need a gear box mount, or something of that sort to prevent grinds? Or can you just replace the stock shifter with the aftermarket one?

 

i put a short throw in my DA yesterday and man what a difference. Didnt realize how bad the shifter bushings where the shifter itself mounted to the linkage was...all the loosness dissapeared while shifting.. I vote for skunk 2!

 

I'd also recommend getting some new shifter bushings as well...

 

done previously

 

TWM dual bend...FTW.

If your "short shifter" puts it further from your hand, you're doing it wrong.

 

just an update, i finally installed skunk2 shifter and ****.

is the shifter supposed to feel "coarse"??
i also installed ES shifter bushings as well.
