I have a DC Sports shifter. I love it. I've had it for about a year now. Shifts are alot shorter.

I'm using the DC also. Nothing special, shifts are a little shorter but not drastic. I'm still using stock bushings with it so it feels kinda sloppy. I almost wish I'd kept the stock one, maybe I'll put it back in

Why do you need a short shifter?

I think the shifter is fine on our cars. In fact it's more than fine, it's one of the best I've ever used.

As for you guys running DC shifters, watch out. I was in the car with a friend who had one in his Si and the thing just broke in half between shifts. He wasn't hard on it either, it's just cheap die cast metal.

This is actually reported quite frequently by former users of the DC short shifter.

The C's multi-adjustable short shifter is the best. It is height adjustable to reduce the distance between the steering wheel and the shifter - just like a race car!

how's the feel, is it too short / hard to engage as other units?

throw is adjustable

shifting is very precise and firm - much better than OEM.

cost is high.

I agree.. the shifter in our cars are really good... it has a better feel compared to the GS-R and other Integras... definitely better than Civics.... I've also driven a friend of mine's 98 Corvette and I hated how the Vette's shifter was... too long... to high (in my opinion).... I couldn't wait to get out of the car and back into my car....

ITR stock shifter--

Plenty of horror stories from the stunnas on ClubSi about DC shortshifters; I'd say C's or stay stock

Yep the stock shifter...........!

Andy: who finds nothing wrong with "ITR's already shorten'd shift." Just .02$

The C's products look nice.......

The above shifter posted by BPR is a C's adjustable unit.

The non-adjustable C's shifter looks like a stock ITR shifter but in a shade of grey.

Non-adjustable shifters all look the same, for the most part.
