Default JDM C's Short Shifter?

Has anyone heard of C's Short Shifters? I know they are JDM and are hard to find. I heard they were the best short shifters for Honda's/Acura's. If anyone knows the price for one of these short shifters, please let me know. Also, if anyone with a Type R in this forum has the short shifter currently installed in their car, let me know how you like it. Thanks

Try in the area of about $300-up. But I'd love to have one!

for reference check out http://www.takakaira.com. I forgot who else has them?

I am thinking about getting one myself. There was like a 3 page thread a while back which talked about the C's alot. If you search under short shifter than Im sure you could find it and see the pics of it installed.

C's makes good shifters, but the throw of their regular short shifter isn't that much shorter than stock. Feel is nice though, they use roller bearings instead of the stock nylon bushing.

I have my eyes open for one of those, too. They don't seem to be in production anymore.

George, they shouldn't be that hard to get

they're a waste of $$$ i think...stock one is fine...there's a slight chance you might damage the synchros if you get one...

does the C's short shifter actually sit shorter than the stock shifter? (not the throw, but the vertical height) compared to oem.

The standard C's Short Stroke Shift sits slightly higher, than the OEM shifter.

Shifters don't damage synchros, people do.
