I have a pice of crap no name brand that littarlly broke in half ! so i need a new one. I had my heart set on the Skunk 2 with the weighted shift-**** and energy bushings, but i heard that it doesnt shift well in CRX's...i tried the stock shifter, but theres so much play, im afraid ill miss a gear...are short shifters even good for b-series trans?...i have the Ys1 with lsd and i dont wanna mess up my syncros cuz that sh*t was expensive....i just need help on which shifter i should get...thanks!!

 

If all that upsets you about the stock shifter is the play, just go with the energy bushings. They make the shifts so much more positive and precise that I couldn't believe it! I wasn't expecting the results I got out of them. Give them a shot - they're only like $10, and you can use them with a short shifter if you decide to get one anyway.

Besides, it's not the short shifter that screws up your synchros, it's the guy doing the shifting.

actually, with a shifter thats too short, you will have to apply too much effort to get the car to go into gear. It wouldn't matter if you were 80 year old grandma or 16 year old Johnny Ricer, it will still **** the transmission up.

 

B&M!! definatly a good choice

 

mine broke like urs did. went back to stock and it feels so much better. doesnt grind third as much either.

 

so then is it the b&m over the skunk 2?? cuz i thinks those are the two that im leaning towards. Have you guys heard anything like short shifters being bad for b-series in ef's???

 

I have a Hurst quick stick. i like it. had it almost 2 years with no problems.

 

I have always heard that the B&M is the shiz nit

 

We sell the energy kit at pep boys. for energy

 

keep the stock shifter and save your transmission.

actually your wrong. <u>You</u> apply more effort, yes, but the short shifter has different leverage than the stock shifter, it is applying the same force. Since you now move your hand through less distance for the shift linkage to move the same amount. The thing screwing up synchros is not completly disengaging the clutch when shifting.

It did happen, and IMHO aftermarket shifters are junk, they do hurt the trans. If you guys want to go with a short shifter, I would stay stock OEm. Now here is the question?

Which OEM honda has a shorter shifter in it from the factory and will not hurt the trans. This shifter is super small. remember it is OEM and throws are super short

I'll take a wild guess on this one but I would say the S2000 or the NSX

Only if we could have cable instead of Rod shifters. Short throw shifters aren't to bad just depends on how hard you drive you car. I personally like them because of the short throw but to save my tranny I'd just get the Energy bushins and a nice **** with a good amount of weight

 

type r?

CTR? JDM only?

 

idk just taking a stab at it...i would think the nsx and s2000 would be set up differently then our cars.

 

WTF, OEM works the exact same way as aftermarket, reducing the leverage, so how could one hurt and one not hurt?

You think a rear wheel drive sports car would different than our econo boxes?

Honda makes money when they sell a civic..and loose money on a the NSX

well look at the new all wheel disc brake cars like the TSX it has 12.5" bremdo rotos that come stock with the car

 

ok that last one confused me..

 

so....is there any oem short shifters that will bolt into a crx/civic? ? ?
