The thing looks like a damn joystick, and that's how it's designed to be grabbed (read: the wrong way to shift) Has anyone tried slapping something like a civic shift **** on there? I don't want a stunna pep-boy's shift **** or some $300 Mugen brushed titanium piece of crap, but I really want to replace that thing.

 

I just use the stock 98 hatch shiftknob.. i dunno why.. i just dislike the stock g3 teg shiftknob

 

Hated it. My friends called it "the Potatoe".
I got an imitation ITR shift **** and short shifter

 

yea that thing does suck...it was the first thing i changed....I went with the short shifter and a leather and crome looking shift ****....it works better than that ***** looking shift ****..LOL...

 

i dont mind mine too much but i wouldnt mind getting a new one. im thinking about getting a greddy ****. does anyone have the greddy ****? hows it feel? thanks

 

I have a straight, cylindrical shift know, carbon fiber, that works quite well. This is an alternative version to the Mugen ****.

 

first thing i got rid of was the stock shifter after i bought the car ... i got an itr shift **** and let me tell you it the shift feel was like night and day. i hated that gsr pos shift ****.

 

i have the skunk ss, and the skunk shift **** looks clean and works good too

So the civic shift **** fits right on?

Is there a good supplier on-line to get one?

well ****...........I always liked it and found it pretty damn ergonomic. To each his own.

 

(besides the potato thing)

Ergonomic if you hold it like a joystick. I used to shift like that, then I started using the proper technique: cupping your hand around the top and shifting with fingertips/palm. No way would I ever go back to the old technique...

 

I have the Greddy "Grex" shift ****. I think you can buy it for around 40-50 bucks new. I got mine used for 20 from a kid I know. I love it. It really does look like a short shifter since the **** screws down all the way on the shift fork. The feel is great. the only dislike I have is it gets pretty hot if you leave your car in the sun all day at work or school during the summer. I would definately reccommend it though...

 

O ya, I really didn't like stock shifter either. A new **** was first on my list

 

my boy got a DC sports short shifter with the Carbon / black looking DC sports shift **** ... looks pretty sleak .. and he loves the shorter throws

 

There is no really "right" or "wrong" way to shift when you're just driving normally on the street. Now when racing, you should use the proper technique (described above).

I think the stock **** looks like a damn banana. The first thing I did to my car when I got it was yank the shift **** and put on the Razo **** that I had in my Camry. The short shifter I have is the same height as stock, but the **** fits down over the shifter farther than the stock ****, so the whole thing is about 2" shorter in height than with the stock ****.

I personally think the grip is perfect. Maybe it's just me...I do think that it is ugly though.

 

feels good .... looks fugly

 

same here. i had an aftermarket know. it was nice, but the stock one felt better, so i put it back on.

 

 

that's funny, i've tried the 98 leather ITR ****, the JDM ITR heavy round metal ****, and one of those fake ITR ***** that you can find on e-bay nowadays. i could've sworn all those ***** improved the feel of the shifting, but when i went back to the stock GSR "pos" shift **** i suddenly realized how good it was.

even for shifting the "right way" the stock GSR **** is better (IMO) because when you cup the top of the **** in your hand, the tip of the **** will naturally want to click down to 2nd or 4th gear. and for going upwards to 3rd or 5th, a simple nudge with a small movement of the wrist works pretty well with the stock **** also. i find shifting the "right way" is a bit more difficult with any of the ITR *****. well, not "difficult", but more like "not easier"

 

What kind of **** is that dLo?
