i just bought a type r shifter to replace the short shifter that came with the swap. i've search and came up with nothing. i need to know which way the bend should go, away from me or towards me. Looking more for a picture of your shifter area without the boot if possible. thanks

Always wondered about the ****. I remember reading somewhere it was Ti , but it seems way too heavy to be Ti. Never heard that it was aluminum (only heard about aluminum on S2000, RSX); but its to heavy to be aluminum also.

Another thing about the **** I found weird, I bought mine from Honda of Japan in 1998 (Pre-Ti shift **** in the US). And after couple of years of use, it is really shiny (enough that some people swear its a fake); I have yet to see a US(OEM ITR) **** to look like mine.

I was talking about the **** only. My '00 shifter was chrome-y0!, but that doesn't mean that 97-98 shifters were as well.


[edit] #132 - OE factory US ***** on both ITR and Stook are aluminum. Honda does sell an Ti **** for at least the Stook, which every dealer around here promptly installed to jack the price up. IIRC, it's a hair darker than the Al ****.

Was there a *real* Ti **** available for the Hype R? Not sure. [/edit]

 

so does the bend come towards the driver or away from the driver??? i'm assuming it comes towards the driver.

 

what was wrong with the short shifter that you had?

 

Im pretty sure its the first pix

 

wait, so the 97-98 ITR shifters arent chrome? cause i know my 2000 ITR one is ;-)

F'ing ricers

&lt;--- tossed the freeze-your-hand metal **** in a box and bought a '97 leather **** from Ed's car

 

I doubt those ITR shifters are chrome....most likely polished aluminum

Damn that thing did suck. Cold in winter, scorching hot in summer. I never did find a way to keep that little ****** from getting 300 degrees in the summer. Ball cap laid on top, Crown Royal bag over it, nothin'.

Shifter != Shift ****

Shifter = the big pole the **** sits on. Which is chrome on '00-up. Black on '97-98.

I thought we covered this already?

Yeah, I know the differance between a shifter and shift ****....So apparently the later model ITR SHIFTERS are Chrome plated steel, that suprises me Honda would do **** like that....I would expect better from them.

When the 996 first came out with the Titanium shift **** Car & Driver described it as grabbing the wrong end of a popsicle in the winter and the wrong end of a soldering iron in the summer. I still really like the way they look, I have dark tint and always use a sunshade when parked so its not really a big deal but I don't really want to put down $200 for a new one. [I like the Crown Royal bag idea, too bad it apparently doesn't work]

Why would you expect "better" ?

What is "better" anyways? Part of the shifter is exposed, i suppose they wanted it to look pretty.
