Default Mugen Dry Carbon spherical 6-speed shift ****

I'm new...

I read a lot of post in Honda Tech, so I think you could help me on this.

I need to know if this Shift **** is the real deal or just a nice replica:

What you think?

i highly doubt that is real, since king motorsports sells it for $170.

Ok, but King Motorsports its not olnly one that has it, I search different places and there are different prices. Worth buying? or its better to go with the real deal that probably is the same and look the same. In other words is just a Shift **** that is going to do the same as the $90

But thanks, other opinions are welcome

I'm sure the Mugen one will allow for quicker shifts and a more positive feel *rolling eyes*

It look good man, I compared the astonishing super Mugen CF that cost $170 and looks the same man... $170 for a shift **** its to much.... Mugen thinks that the car is going to fly with their parts.... but looks good to me! I don't you guys..

If you're just going for looks, then f**k it. That said, different shift **** materials/weights CAN actually make a difference, though not really so much in terms of performance IMO.

To me heavier shift ***** just feel better when shifting. It feels more solid and I don't know, smoother I guess. Lighter shift ***** don't really do it for me, but of course it's hard to tell from a picture how it would really feel in person. It says it's weighted so... As far as performance goes, I guess heavier might let you shift into gear a few nanoseconds quicker or something but not enough to justify paying twice as much if there really is a difference between this and official Mugen.
