Im trying to find out who makes a shifter lever that is taller in height and angled towards the driver (aftermarket or OEM). I've noticed that the Skunk2's look a bit taller than most other short shifters and is angled toward the driver. Are ther any other shifters in the market that offers what im looking for?
TIA

Cs Driving Position Shift....

 

That sounds like what he's looking for

 

damn, that looks heavy duty
C's makes nice stuff

 

Nice shifter.

I should've mentioned...i dont have the money for the DPS and finding a used one is close to impossible. Any other alternatives before i decide to make a custom extension? How about the Buddy CLub?

 

ive seen cheap copies

 

Yes, I've seen this one but i have no idea who makes it or the price.
Dr. Pooface, how inferior do u think this one is compared to urs? Any flaws u can think of based on this image?

if i could find one, id try it

 

No idea, sorry. only differences I can see is my throw adjustment locking nut (the one to the left of the red tape in your pic) is much larger. I think it is a 22mm on mine. And the weld on the bottom of mine is much better looking.

 

The knock-off is made by Arospeed and is called the Robo Shifter:


It's $54.99 here: http://importave.com/store/shifters.htm

 

you get what you pay for....

 

Dr. Pooface, is that the same as this? What is the difference?

 

my contribution (stolen from kat's stash )

i think the idea is awesome as it puts the shift **** closer to where it would be located in a "true sports car".

will spoon ***** work these two shifters? im guessing since the spoon **** has the allen screw locking mechanism it would work fine since you could use that for tension if it didn't screw down all the way.

I've never sold one but I have seen them in catalogs they send me. http://WWW.CHECKPOINTAUTOACCESSORIES.COM. They have some nifty items for cool prices. I think they call it the ROBOSHIFTER or something to that affect. I have one of their standard short shifters in my R for a while now & I have no probs with it or anything I seen of theirs.

 

eeeek...I prefer the look and feel of the stock shifter

 

DAMN, that thing looks like a 18 wheeler shifter...wow

 

That is the normal C's short shifter. Same height as stock.


As far as spoon shiftknobs fitting, I have no idea. The threads do accept honda ***** on mine.


I searched "roboshifter" on google and found a post on another board where a guy complained of breaking his in three pieces on a hard shift.

 

how much does the C's one go for?

 

A&J might import it, but be prepared to pay. They go for around $450 USD new.

 

Damn, I thought I remember them for like $275 a year or so ago... and readily available?

 

you might be thinking of the Cs short throw as opposed to the DPS.

just an fyi:

I bought a C's shifter (not the cool position one....just the solid one) and wanted to know what the big deal was. the secret behind it...

ROLLERBLADE BEARINGS

the pivot point at the bottom that hooks up to the shift linkage has rollerblade bearings on either side. If I could find a cheaper shifter that could fit these I'd stop by a sporting goods store and pay $5 for a pair of ABEC-7 bearings or something.

the driver position shift on the other hand is but I haven't found one anywhere (for a semi-reasonable price anyway). That C's shifter plate is cool too....discontinued
