I'm trying to put a short shifter on my 02 accord coupe if I buy the adapter and a Honda civic throw will it work out cause all I can find are things that say Acura n civic...

 

they're probably referring to intergras.
Also are you saying you will install a short shifter then on top of that add a shift cable adapter to shorten the shift even more?

 

This is the only true short shifter as far as I know that is still made: http://www.jtccustoms.com/products/J...hort%20Shifter

 

i know it says 98-02 but will this fit my 96 accord?

 

Nope, they used a completely different shifting bracket. Its actually made out of plastic while ours are obviously metal. You could try installing a Prelude shifter in your Accord because they are said to have shorter throws.
