Default which shift ***** FEEL the best

hi guys just bought my rsx-s and the previous owner sure did thrash on her the 6 speed feels sort of mushy to shift inlike my old prelude that had a real crisp shifting feel. which shift ***** feel the best? i heard weighted shifting ***** feel the best when shifting what experiance do you guy shave? i also notice alot of rsx in my complex take their **** off when they park their car O_o does that really stop theifs?

i was looking at the buddy club one so far :D but theres so many to choose from

Is this a real question? I cant boggle why someone would think by removing their shift **** that the theif wouldnt be able to drive the car?




Weighted ***** do really help with easier throws and a more crisp feel. The heavier the better. Around 400 grams is what you'll probably want to look for.

Most aftermarket shift ***** weigh around 150 grams (like the buddyclub). Ones that are marketed as "weighted" like the skunk2 weigh 440 grams.

The shift **** has nothing to do with the 'mushy' feeling. It's either the shifter box or the cables that is causing that.

People take their shift ***** off to prevent thieves from stealing their shift ****, yes, but it will not stop them from stealing your car.

I have used the skunk2 ****, currently a ICB weighted ****, and have used a few different plastic *****. i prefer the lighter ***** just to keep the shifting from feeling too numb but i really liked the skunk2 in my BB6. sounds like your cables are stretched and/or bushings are wore out. i would check those first.
