Has anyone bought a skunk2 short throw? i just broke my b&m one which i thought would never break, and they won't warrenty it because i lost my reciept. I also had a cheap ebay one in it for a couple days after the b&m went, and sure enough that one just broke. Now my question is do the Skunk2 short throws come with the housing to bolt it up because in the pictures they only show the shifter by itself without the housing. This may sound like a dumb question but i'd like to know before i buy one and find out it's just a bare shifter. thanks in advance.

anyone??

 

when I bought mine it just came with a bare shifter, no housing. That was for my 89 sedan. good luck to ya sounds very annoying

 

so what do they expect you to use for a plate or "housing" or w/e they want to call it...? any help is appriciated

 

WTF are you talking about housing? The shift linkage?

when I bought my skunk2 shifter it came with a bolt 2 nuts 2 washers a aluminum spacer and the shifter thats it.

 

nope i meant parts 8,9, and 12..like how the b&m shifter comes together with no assembly required. i've already got my answer on b20vtec thanks though

 

how hard are you shifting? i've had an egay one for years, but i dont shift like a madman..

 

should just fit into the original housing shouldnt it?

 

my b&m one snapped like a twig gently pulling it out of first into nuetral, and the ebay one also snapped like a twig gently putting it into fifth gear just cruising. i think the weight of the skunk2 shift **** may be a factor in it too.

 

It's bound to happen with a short shifter that is aluminum. My STR short shifter broke on me a couple of weeks ago.

OP you just have to remove the 2 bolts on #9 and the shifter comes out, then you place in your n ew shifter like you did with the ebay model. The link you posted don't work, so I am not sure what housing you are talking about, unless they have a picture of a cable shifter, like a K or H series.

 

This is the B&M shifer I have which is mounted on a spherical bearing.

If you broke this shifter which is made of billet 303S stainless steel I want to see a picture of you. I am 6ft 235lbs bench press 370 lbs and I couldnt break this shifter if I tried.

 

im not a big guy im 6ft 160lbs..ill take a picture later to show you it broke

 

Thats crazy,maybe yours was defective.

 

try to find an oem integra shifter. a lot cheaper and the throw is perfect!

 

that is what i am saying especially since he broke two within a couple of days

 

Buy a TWM short shifter...I've shifter the CRAP outta mine and never a problem...You get what you pay for
