I'm not really liking the throws on my Accord anymore, so I was wondering what would be a good, legit short shifter, preferably under $100, but if not, I can ask my mom how much we can spend this year for Christmas. Thanks in advance.

 

Anyone? Come on.

 

I bought my PSPEC true short shifter before they discontinued it(lucky me), but it was $210.00 when I bought it. Forbidden has them for the 5th Gen Accords too, but I don't know if they're still making them for the Accords and it ain't cheap though.

PSPEC VS Stock:



The only cheap short shifter I see are the gay adapter ones on Ebay.

 

That's a bit too steep, but I'm sure it was worth it. I looked up some more and I saw like the shifter "stick," not sure what to call it, but they were like $50 or something.

 

ebay thats were i bought mine had it for a year no probs

 

I need some ideas here, quick please.

 

92-96 prelude shifter worked well for me.

 

Alright, it's either an adapter or this thing.

That Ebay short shifter won't work with your car cause it's different from 98-02 Accords. Those are crap anyway. You're just throwing your money away.

There's a guy on Hondasociety right now who takes stock shifter from the 94-97 Accords and cut them down, so that you get that shorter throw and looks alot shorter. Does work I believe. He called his short shifter "Tom tom short shifter" if I'm not mistaken. Haven't seen him get on much, but I think he still does them.

 

I don't want to cut anything, I just want the shifter to be lower and give me shorter throws. That's all I'm asking for without mangling anything.

 

Any more?

 

You won't find any that will give you a shorter look besides the shorter throw; unless, someone takes the stock ones and custom them for a shorter look and shorter throw. Nobody makes them for the 5th Gen Accords anymore; unless, Forbidden still does and will be over $150.00 each. Those Ebay ones will not give you that shorter look.

Best true short shifter was PSPEC til they discontinued it. It has that nice firm, and crisp feel to it when shifting. Glad I got mine.

 

So should I just get an adapter? orrrrr...one of those "stick" things, still not sure what to call it, or both? Grrrr, so confusing, I was thinking about brake pads too, but that's a whole 'nother topic.

 

Here ya go!!
many to choose from

i would be very leery of buying from that link since at least two of them picture civic/integra shifters...

 

I looked there last night, but thank you for helping.

 

There are 3 options

Forbidden (no longer made)
Pspec (no longer made)
OEM Prelude

Anything else is going to be crap and not worth it. Your best bet is to find a used one for Pspec or 4bidden, but they are going to cost some money.

 

LOL @ Ask mom. This site is turning to the SpongeBob SquarePants,with all the kids. LOL!

 

I personally have never understood the need to get a short-throw for the Accord.

I can shift mine plenty quick if I need to and it's an Accord... unless your putting down power and going to the strip I'm not seeing how it's going to help a whole lot.

Don't get me wrong, the PSPEC looks like a nice unit. I myself just don't see the need. I'd rather spend the money on something else.

Good luck to the OP anyhow...



Also, those adapters should be banned by every governing body.

 

do you need to make any mods, for installing it. or is it just a simple swap?
