Noobie here, whats the difference between short shifter and short throw shifter?

and does anyone have like a link or a diy on how to install short shifters?

oh and does it matter if i get like a 1998 short shifter into my da will it still fit? or a civic short shifter

 

can anyone help me out?

 

hmmmm

 

If your really cheap you can just take the factory shifter and cut it off a few inches. Just either re-thread the rod or buy a universal shift ****. Kinda jacked but it works. It was done to my DA when I bought my first one. I've heard it's not the best on your linkage but I never had any problems for close to 15K miles I owned it. I'm fairly certain you could use any Integra kit all having the same basic engine and trans but not too sure on the civic, unless it was the SI maybe.

 

Same thing. They slightly reduce the distance between gears. Stay away from cheap, POS brands, they will vibrate like crazy and can be extremely hard to shift because of the bearing design.

A Civic shifter will tilt the **** slightly, I'd recommend using an Integra dual bend shifter.

 

A real short throw shifter is one that has been engineered to reduce the distances between throws. As already mentioned, stay away from cheap ebay garbage because they have a million problems. If you're looking for the best short shifter, go for a TWM Performance one...had it on my car for 4 years and its way better than the old Skunk2 one i had

Check out the installation manual with pics at the bottom of the page if you want a good DIY

 

and to answer the other part of your q? the 88-01 civic and 90 - 01 integra will all work interchangeably now there are recamended applications for a reason but as stated before they will work
