short shifter for 92ex
quick q's? about replacing the stock shifter with a short shifter in a 92 ex! First off, i've heard some controversy about how the s/s affects the tranny,,i.e; causing grinding and eventually damage to the tranny, or, its not worth the time and effort. i've never done one before, so i'm not to sure about doing it yet. Can any of you with experience w/short shifters give me some advice on this?? i'd appreciate it!--thanx!

Re: short shifter for 92ex (92accordproject)
First off, unfourtunately all the H22 and F22 engines are mated to trannies that are "cable" shifted 
... sucks for us.... and you cant actually have a "short shifter" however, Neuspeed, DC, OBX, etc.... make short shift adapters that change the location of the cables on the shifter to shorten the throw. I spent $80 on the one from Neuspeed and it just didn't make a big enough difference to me to justify the cost, so i returned it. It did shorten the throw a little bit but dont expect it to be as drastic as a true "short shifter" used on a CIV or INTEG. As for the grinding of gears and F-in' up your tranny... that is driver error keeping the engine RPM up during the shift can help you out with keeping your gears from grinding. ...... Just a note for every one out there who hasn't done it yet, about two years ago i figured it would be a good idea to change the oil in my gearbox, I knew that "Redline" was a quality company for Oils. So I went to the local speed shop and payed $24 for 3 quarts of Redline 30wt oil. Drained out the old and filled it up with the new Redline. took it for a drive and grinded the **** out of 2nd and 3rd gear. so I called the Honda dealer and told them my story, they said to come down there and pick up some of the factory Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Oil so I did and put that in and now none of the gears have grinded since Oh well you live and you learn. Luckily I was able to return the redline cause the dude at the shop said just to put it back in the bottles and bring in the recipt.
