does anyone have this? i have a question on the installation..


"Start off by removing the clips that hold the shift cables to the shifter frame. You must hammer them out with a flathead screw driver, punch (as shown) or similar object."

thats what the installation says.. do i bang it sideways on that spot?

 

yes, either from there or go from behind with a flathead screw driver and catch it right in the middle of the lip that goes back.

 

watch out though, sometimes, especially the first time those clips are removed they have a tendency to shoot off with some velocity. keep that in mind so you dont loose one.

 

those clips are such a bitch, it might be easier to pry them off from the holes in the middle of the clip

 

oh god that pic brings back some painful memories...

i remember i used a flat head and a hammer to get them off. be sure to pound at each of the prongs evenly so that the clip comes off straight

 

what do you guys recommmend? the pspec or the forbidden short shifter? theres a 30 dollar in price difference.. any personal experience?

 

I don't have any personal experience yet with either but when I get my Accord I plan to buy the PSPEC shifter.

 

what year accord is this its not a cb7 is it?

 

it's a 5th gen. but I don't know if the 4th gens are the same or different.

 

is there any real difference between forbidden and p spec 30 bucks isn't a big difference but is there something better about one then the other? I will be getting one want some input!!!

 

well heres the thing

forbidden ($125/135 depends on color) has 3 holes .. adjustable short shifter
pspec ($160) one hole, regular short shifter

and yes this is for my 5th gen..

edit: one more thing

forbidden charges 8 bucks for shipping while pspec charges 20 bucks...

alittle more than 30 bucks i guess if u include shipping

when i got my Pspec, with that 180 shipped was also included a REALLY nice thick leather shift boot (stock is vinyl) and a black ITR styled ****. additionally, forbidden requires you to go get some new part from honda, while pspec can reuse it (at least thats how it used to be)

 

forbidden you only need a $5 prelude bolt.

yeah, and i discovered after i bought it from honda, you dont really even need that special bolt, i think a standard 10mm bolt will fit though with a nut...

 

i heard it doesnt feel right with a home depot bolt, something about being notchier and not as smooth.

 

Looks nice!

 

so the p spec comes with **** and boot for that price? that would def be wiser

 

pspec 220 includes shifter, boot, ****, and shipping..

so should i make a poll or what

 

Yep

 

But which one works better???? I plan on getting the Forbidden one....hmmmmm

 

im really interested in the forbidden only because it has 3 holes.. adjustable short shifter.. but its not like ill be trying all 3 holes out.. AHHH.. choices choices..

 

Whats the length on the Forbidden shifter? Does anyone have a side-by-side shot of the Forbidden shifter next to the stock shifter? I don't want a really "short" shifter (in reference to the height).

 

they really look similar in length and im just not sure not many users have chimed in

 

which ones look similar in length? The Forbidden and stock or the Forbidden and PSPEC?

I was looking at pictures of the original PSPEC and it looks pretty short compaired to the stock shifter, I would assume the new/current version is the same length as the original.

IDK, I don't think I would be switching the location of the cable on the Forbidden shifter but I would like to see a compairson to see if I like the length.

 

thats the pspec next to oem on the right
