Neuspeed is the only one.
So expensive.

I hate when people say that short shifters do nothing. The faster you can get into a gear the better when racing.

No ****...

Please, go put a 2' tall shifter in your car, take it for a spin, and then come back and tell me if you still think the length of a shifter makes no difference.

Things are a little different with the EP3 than the older Hondas since the newer cars are cable.

But if you want a shorter shifter with the EP3, just put a shorter shiftknob on the thing. That will make a world of difference. Don't waste the cash on the neuspeed piece.

I has been on a couple of searches for the most favorite short shifters around for Honda Civic EP3?

Anyway, is Buddy Club Short Shifters the most favorite one? Let me know what's your most favorite short shifters for Honda Civic EP3 because my friend Patrick wants to get one for his Honda Civic EP3 but now he's not really sure what brands to get since Buddy Club discontinued their EP3 Spec Short Shifters. Thanks.

they discontinued it because they don't do anything.. short shifter for the ep3 really doesn't do much.. you already have a rally box position for it so yeah its tough to improve on. not to mention shortshifters just cause you to mash yer syncros because u go shifting like the cars a ****in ferrari or something. just sayin, but good job for searching first

I see. What about any other brands of Short Shift Adapters for Honda Civic EP3? Still not worth it?

Because I thought it may has been improve on after a few years? Am I wrong? Correct me.
So please tell me so I can tell my friend Patrick what's not to get or what to get? Thanks.

I've been contemplating for sometime for SS, but from what I've found/heard, not really worth the money and you'll loose the OEM shifting feel..., unless you're gonna be doing hardcore racing of some sort, imho, I'd stick with what you have. Also, ppl that I know personally have'em don't really dig'em... GL bro!

BCSS has been on my wishlist forever but there's 99 other $150 semi-useful things I need to buy first.

if you can find a used BCSS, definitely buy it. idk what everyone else is talking about, but you can definitely feel a difference. that along with aluminum shift bushings is one of my favorite things ive done to my car. and if you cant find one just get a **** like the ricks team voodoo **** thats recessed so it sits lower, making the shifts seem shorter.

The difference between stock and a BCSS is purely for comfort/feel. Either can be shifted through the gears at the proper time/speed.

I hope you don't mean overall speed of the car.

I myself was looking for a BCSS til I got the horrible news. I went with the Neuspeed and def had a better feel than OEM, wont say its greatest as if I can race and shift on ***** like Im the man though.

Im sure BCSS or Neuspeed will make a drastic diff to your friend, they remove the somewhat loose and sloppy feeling the stock shifter feel had.

p.s. I also changed my shifter bushings, and shifter cable bushings so im sure that will make a bigger diff.

Hope this info helps if Im not too late
