i've been debating this for a while now i'm equally split between selling and keeping the shifter for my R, and its driving me crazy..

any positive feedback weighing each option appreciated, especially from any C's owners.

Stock shifter == a few extra millimeters between a normal 3-4 shift and a valve-launching 3-2 shift.

I rock the stocker myself... If a short shifter bought you 0.05 in a quarter mile, would it be worth it?

 

install it and call it a day......

 

sell

 

sell it and buy a driving positions C's

I apologize if I am making an accusation... but, have you actually experienced a C's shifter?

There's nothing like it. OEM is excellent. C's is heavenly. It's funny that people can justify $300 intake for 2hp, but something that is very practical like C's and amazingly made gets shafted.

Keep the shifter!

seriously, I wouldn't sell mine for $1,000

 

just by sean and dan's responses, i know why i've held onto this for so long. you guys know how many people want this from me? wish i had like 5...i'd make a grand.

 

I love my C's as well, but don't expect anything more than changed shifter feel and shorter throws. But man what a change in feel!

Install it, and if you don't like it sell it. It'll still sell for over 200.

 

i would sell it only if you can get a driving position version in its place other than that it is a great shifter.

 

I would order a set of Mugen or Spoon bushings then install it

so what makes the C's so much better in terms of feel than say skunk2's shifter? Is it the weight distribution? the position and angle of the bend? or just JDM black magic?

Not doubting, just can't seem to quantify shifter "Feel".

Don't worry, it wasn't an accusation. I have NEVER driven a car with that short shifter. I should have stated that originally. Thanks for calling me out

I prefer the Honda shifters to any other make I've driven (BMW, Chevy, Mitsubishi).. including a short shift kit on an (ahem) Cavalier.

 

Is it possible to take some pics of it out of the box?

bearings everywhere
anywhere there is a pivot there is a spherical bearing/ sealed bearing

 

here you go, for the link challenged

 

That's a dope shifter. I've heard nothing but good chit about it. I wonder how it compares to the one fastline performance is selling in the performance section. Anyone used the fastline one? Sorry about thread hacking here but to make it relavent, if you are looking to sell yours I would be very interested.

 

I thought you already made a post about it? I would sell if you need the $ badly or install if your the jdm ***** you are.

I knew this was to get more attention to your FS post!

 

You know my opinion on the C's Shifter.

 

C's =

ppl might wonder why I am selling one...it's because I have an extra one.

 

I owned it and had an extra. Its great and worth the money. I recently sold my extra to a fellow
