Default Best Short Shifter?

hi!

what´s the best short shifter to buy?

Skunk2 and Neuspeed must be quite good, right?

Thanks

C's shifter from what I HEAR from the ITR forum is by far the best short shifter on the market though the price is 2x to 3x as much as any US short shifter .. do a search u'll find a lot of personal testimony's on short shifters here

B&M baby. I've heard excellent things about C's also, but don't have first hand experience. However, the B&M Edge with poly bushings is extremely nice. A lot of people have broken DC's shifter.

HTH!

Where in the hell are you pulling this **** from?

Please stop spamming our MB with Spoon and Mugen in every reply of yours. You ever seen a SPOON or Mugen short shifter?

Anyways, back to the question:

I've always loved the DC Sports. It has bearings in the bottom for very smooth shifting, and it sits nice and low.

The Skunk2 also has the lower bearings, but it sits too high for my tastes.

The C's gets lots of raves, but compare the prices and you'll wonder of it's really worth that extra loot - the DC can be had for $80.00 or less from on-line stores and I rip on mine hard and it hasn't failed me yet.

I can also testify for the DC sports short shifter. I pull mine from 1st to 2nd as hard as my puney arm will allow and i've never had problem.

i used to have a C's CRX shifter. i dunno if it's different than the type R shifter, but it really wasn't anything special. i actually liked my DC shifter better, but now i'm back to stock.

Ditto on the Skunk2 with bushings. Feels great in my car, about 30% shorter throw.

try useing the search button this short shifter things has been talked about to death. If you search you will find out the most people prefer the C's or skunk mostly everything else is cheap and is alumminun that will break during hard shifts

you people are aware that you don't need to SLAM your tranny or shifter around right. I mean sure you want to shift fast but if your exerting enough force on your shifter to snap a solid piece of aluminum your beating on your car for no reason.

My Integra Type R short shifter that my friend got machined for me.
It's all OEM, so there's no issues.

I have the nuespeed model(gift) and I love it. It only feels better, not so much like plastic like oem. It's beefier. Try just getting the shifter bushings on the stock shifter.
