does anyone know how much the single and dual bend stock shift levers weigh compared to aftermarket ones like say skunk2, blox, twm or mfactory. and any input as to what shifter/**** combo ur using? thanks

 

From my personal experience.....

weight of the lever shouldn't matter....also, i wouldn't even waist your time with a short shifter for you car either.

You want a good upgrade, go with an oem Integra shift lever, they are dual bend and work incredibly well on 92-00 civic's. I weighted shift **** used along with the integra lever does seem to work very well, i have it done on a couple of my cars!

 

A lot of people are using the dual bend integra shifters... I'm actually getting ready to pick one up. Short shifters are a waste of money, use that money and get a decent bolt on. Shift ***** really don't matter either, I'm using a CTR(a real one, not ebay) and I kick myself for paying so much for such a useless part. Its all personal preference

 

shift ***** aren't useless. I absolutely despised the OEM Civic one and found my custom, one off piece to be far, far superior.

 

99% of the time I shift using the shift lever and don't even touch the ****... Got used to it from doing it to avoid getting prints and smudges on my shift **** haha. The only good point of a **** is how it fits in your hand(no homo!) Haha. Its completely stupid to spend a lot of money on a shift **** is what I was saying.

 

haha, very true. I grab the shifter like I'm picking something up, not like I'm grabbing a pop to take a drink, if that makes sense. Having the **** fit in my palm is the only thing that matters. I just made one in my machine tech class because I had nothing else to do and my teacher told me to find something constructive to do. The next year, I started making a cannon. haha.

 

Lmao, I'd go for a cannon right about now! U have any pics of this shift **** u speak of?

 

Yeah, http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=25q9ezr&s=6
It's domed on the top and it's about the size of a golf ball. I have kinda small hands and it fits perfect. Unfortunately I cut a B&M short shifter down and they're tapered, so I drilled the bottom out where it threads on to allow the tapered part to fit in, so now I have to fill it with epoxy or something and fix that before putting it on something else. I'll just do that some cold winter day when I can't do anything else.

 

ya im gonna go for the oem dual bend for now. even the single bend is coo. but i dont need nothing high end because im not at the track tryin to put down low numbers. mostly daily drive ****. if anything i get a weighted **** and thats it. just put in the energy shifter bushings yesterday so that should help with how it all feels. im goin for a smooth shift mostly to cover up how much of a piece of **** my trans is. thanks anyway guys
