As stated in topic is b&m coming out with a short throw for the ep3 or are they just coming out with one for the rsx? Thanks for your replies.

Do you really think you need one for the EP3 the stock one is tight as is.

True, well stated! As for me though the shorter the better.

If you think that the EP3 is tight, try driving an MR2, S2000 or Miata with a short shifter. Makes the EP3 feel like you're rowing a boat.

Just put a shorter **** on the oem shifter if you want a different throw.

And since the ep3 uses a different way (than the older Hondas) to shift the gears, I don't know how confident I'd be with putting a short shifter on the car.

The Miata was engineered to be short--the Honda was not.

Neuspeed claims that they've re-engineered the pivot point of the shift to make the throw a strong tight throw. What are your feelings on that???

I got the neuspeed short shifter in mine, with a shorter shift **** as well, and it definitely feels better with it. It requires more effort to move the shifter at first, after a while you don't notice it anymore. I would like it to be even shorter, but its not too bad.

My feelings are the same. I wish the Neuspeed was shorter. In my GS-R, I'm running the B&M and holy **** that thing is short in comparison. That's what I'd like to get out of my EP3.
