Default What's the best combo?

As it says. C's, Skunk, DC Sports, B&M, or Neuspeed Shifters. Which one of these have the factory feel and which one is paired with the right bushing? Mugen, Spoon, or Energy Suspension bushing? Which one, Help me, I'm getting ready to buy one. This is for a 00 Si. Any help would be appreciated.

Why would you care about factory feel out of a short shifter? The answer would be none. They are all about 35%-50% shorter throw than stock. I know nothing of the "C" short shifter. I have the SKunk2 which I like very much. I chose it over the DC and Neuspeed, because of the construction - because the Skunk2 is made out of steel where the DC (and I believe Neuspeed) is made from alumimum. Which is fine unless you shift like a jackass (like me). And they are known to break under rough conditions. Havent used the B&M but I heard good things and its cheap(er).

Bushings? What ever is cheapest. Shifter bushings seriously wont make any difference. There isnt much slop in Honda shifters anyways and the short shifter will be responsible to tightening up most of that - not the bushing. This becomes apparent when you install the shifter bushings. The bushing that is near the tranny didnt help much except to translate more vibration into the shift ****.

Hope that helps.
