Default EP3 short shifter?

Any companys making one? I haven't heard or seen anything about it...

How would a short shifter work in a EP3 anyway?

Just put a shorter **** on the stock shifter (like the base RSX aluminum **** or something). Feels much better that way IMO. The oem SI **** is very very tall.

After I did that, I personally didn't think the shifter needs any shorter of a throw.

I'll throw one of my buddys type-r shifters on there and see how it feels. The stock one feels fine, for now...as my car is ALL stock. But when I start getting stuff in, I know I'm going to want a bit shorter throw.

personally i dont really like the neuspeed one. i got it and for some reason mine didn't fit right. i had to grind out some parts to make it fit properly. some people's fit properly, others dont (i got mine about 9 months ago so maybe they fixed it).

some people say it really helps, but imo, it doesnt do anything except pushes the shifter towards the console more. so neutral would be where 3rd gear normally is and 4th gear is where neutral is normally w/o the ss. so when u shift 1-&gt;2 or 3-&gt;4, it feels like its really short cuz its higher up. but for actual travel amount, not sure if it's significantly shorter, cuz i dont really feel it.

Tornactive has it for I think $89.95 plus tax and shipping. I personally don't think that the shifts need to be any shorter, but if you got an extra $100 to throw around, then go ahead.

The Neuspeed website list the price as 120.

I dunno... I'll keep it the way it is for right now, there are a lot of other things to be done first. I was just wondering what was out for it. First things first, gonna nab one of my buddys Type-R shift ***** for a little bit and see if it gives the "illusion" of shorter throw, just for kicks.
