How much was it? Can't be much cheaper than B&M. You won't find much love for APC here.

Yeah... like pay half of the APC price for one on eBay! Most aluminum shifters are about the same. I don't see why this is such a controversy. It's practially all made in China anyway.

APC= Builds very poor products and stamps ''APC'' and what people dont realize theyre buying is just plain '****'. For another good example: There Carbon Fiber hoods. IMHO:i would never buy anything apc

Who cares, it's a short shifter. It's just as good (or bad?) as any of the other ALUMINUM short shifters on the market.

Okay guys, Ive said this at least three times here on honda tech and told all my friends. THERE ALMOST ALL THE SAME, I compared my friends DC to my, lol, RACTIVE, a brand just as cheap as APC, and found no difference, Ive had it for over a year and still love it, it ran me $50, and i believe it to be well spent money considering my friend pealed 150 for his DC!
but who cares what i say, everone will still tell you otherwise

Id never buy an aluminum shifter. Id only get a steel one. Who cares if it weighs a few grams less. I wouldnt want to break it.

It's not the short shifter that sucks.

IT'S APC THAT SUCKS!!!

I would never buy such a piece of **** part from them. Sorry to here that you have WASTED your money. Well at least you only bought a shifter. It's pretty hard to screw up a short shifter. But I wouldn't put it past APC to find a new way to screw that up. On top of everything else you are just going to screw up your sincros. Be careful, because you could end up needing a new transmition.

APC

it's funny....apc is so associated with rice that it's an overlooked company

sure some of the stuff they make is of cheaper quality...but look how large of a company that really are. that alone should tell you 2 things. Ppl are buying there stuff, and the stuff is good enough to keep ppl buying it.

buisness CANNOT survive if they make ****. **** won't sell.

stop stop being ignorant, and open your eyes.
