Hey, I am new to this forum... i got a 98 Civic Ex and i want to put a short shifter on it bc i hate the stupid shifter i got, its so slow... anyhow ive been looking around and ive heard of a few brands that are good... I was considering b&m pro edge or edge, forbidden or skunk 2... ive heard of the b&m shifter having problems with rattling, i used to have a shift **** that rattled and it annoyed the hell outta me so i broke it off... anyway i dont want mine to rattle... just wanted to hear your opinion and any stories so that i can get one without having to replace it like i am having to do with my suspension, not fun... oh by the way im replacing my suspension with tein ss line, cant wait til i can get it on!!

 

i have skunk2 shifter with **** together.. itz great so far.. looks good, feels good.

and the **** is same as type-r material i believe..

 

GSR with a skunk 2 **** shifts are really really good i love mine

 

I just got a B&M...after I install it...I'll let you know if it rattles. I'm goin to get a Skunk2 Shifter and **** combo one day...this B&M is just for the intrum. I can vouvh for how the Skunk2 feels...my friend has the set in his integra...and damn it feels solid. Nice tight throws, and is weighted nicely.

 

I have a OEM honda Del Sol, its really short, feels great.

 

How about you <FONT SIZE="5">SEARCH?</FONT>

What a concept, huh?

 

well i did search around a lot and all i could find was that people said the b&m rattles... no one really said which one was good for performance.... a couple people also said that replacing the bushings is a good idea to make more positive shifts and all, they said energy suspension makes good bushings... i think im gonna get that and the skunk 2 shifter since those seem to make a good match as ive heard

 

b&m only rattles if people dont install extra washers to take up the space (i had one)

I have a skunk2 dual bend now and love it to death

 

This is the B&M that I have and it never rattled. Just installed it the way it came.


I use that with a RSX non type-s shift ****. Feels great and all my friends with different shifters including skunk2 and DC Sports said they want to sell theirs and get mine.

 

search skunk2 shortshifter... tons of stuff on it. thats the one im planning on getting.

 

B&M shifter i used was bad ***, not rattling, worked great.

 

the skunk2 short shifter is really good. it doesnt feel like its gonna break when you shift hard.

I also have a 98ex and the shifter was very sloppy. I installed a set of urethane shifter bushings and threw on a gsr shift ****. believe it or not, it shifts beautifully now. much quicker because the shifts are smoother and no longer sloppy. Feels very nice. Cost was just under $50 (overpaid on the gsr ****).

Even if you decide to go with an aftermarket short shifter, I highly recommend changing the shifter bushings while you are at it.

 

Are Solo Short Shifters any good????

 

what bushings should i change it with, energy suspension is what ive heard are they any good? are there better brands out there?

 

c's

 

i had a skunk2 dual bend on my civic and it shifted like it was stock and purdy short.. overall it is the best ss i have ever used... but then i have only used 3 different ones and they were cheapo's

If it could be found anymore...I have a DC in my car, had it for 3 years now...mated with some ES bushings I love it.

 

got a skunk2 dual bend with spoon ****, absolutely feels awesome but i plan on getting the skunk2 **** as well......def would recommend the skunk2 short shifter
