ive never bought an aftermarket shiftknob before and i was wondering if it actually improves ur driving experience or if it is just for the looks. and if it does improve anything (other than the odds of someone saying oh wow nice car ) then what should i look for in a shiftknob? i have a 1990 acura integra gs.
thanks in advance

 

search for shift *****, you will get many threads with peoples opinions.
i received a skunk2 shift **** for v-day from my girlfriend. One of the best gifts i received. I think it does change driving and makes the feel of shifting better.

 

it's only for looks. get a short shifter, that will make a difference

 

Buy a 1lb **** and get urethane shifter bushings. I have a spoon **** mostly for looks, and urethane bushings and it's tight. not weighted, but feels good in my small hand

wouldnt that be a bit soon for me to get a short shifter? i just started driving my car this week. ive gotten the feel for it and im quite good at it but a short shifter would be much harder for me until i further perfect driving a stick wouldnt it?

Skunk2 **** + Energy/Prothane Shifter Bushings

Short shifter not required.

 

would someone explain to me the concept of shifter bushings? i have no idea what they even are.

and what are the advantages of a weighted shiftknob over an unweighted shiftknob?

 

ok so what exactly are shifter bushings then, how much will it cost to replace them (for a 1990 acura integra gs), and how hard are they to install?

thanks in advance

btw does anyone have a skunk2 shift ****? id like to hear from some people that actually own one and tell me wether or not they are worth putting out the $50 for.

 

also... how hard is it to install a short shifter?

 

i just bought a skunk2 weighted shift ****, over the stock one it is a very different feel, like it goes into gear by itself or with little effort. but i also have a short shifter, and they arent that hard to install. I have an ebay short shifter that i got for 15 bucks. You can feel a difference and it hasnt broken on me yet. http://z14.invisionfree.com/Im...#last
thats a little write up i did on how to put in a short shifter, hope it helps.

 

oh thanks. and i was thinking about getting the skunk2 dual bend shortshifter for a 90 integra with the shiftknob included for about $125 shipped. anyone got any good information on that? could i find it cheaper maybe? thanks in advance

 

Yes Shift ***** Do make a difference, The ones from autoparts stores are all light plastic pieces of junk....

Ive used like 500 different shift *****

My Favorites are the Skunk 2, the Shift ***** out of a EP3 or dc5


And i know some of u will think im nuts for buying one before, but the DC itr titanium ****.... expensive but its sick... and of course jdm

 

alright, im convinced that i should buy a skunk2 shiftknob.

its much cheaper (off ebay anyway) to buy one as a package with a dual bend shortshifter though. im sure i could figure out how to install it, if not i can just call my older brother who has been a mechanic all his life.

 

Skunk2 **** FTW


thats what i have and its dirt cheap compared many of the other *****
