hey guys i was just wondering what kind of short throw shifters you guys have? how much was it? Is there a big difference? and how about a picture?

 

I have a Skunk2, and I got it in a trade.

and theres a big difference between it and the stock one.

 

B&M short throw sport shifter. with no bends. cost about $30
It made a big difference from stock

sorry no pic

 

Are the skunk/ebay knockoffs actually SHORTER than oem (in height)?

 

I was given one of those e-bay knock off ones... i ended up taking it out, although for a while i did notice a difference.

the only problem was it rubbed against one of the heat shields, so I figured that it was worthless to have it in.

i've heard a lot of good things about the skunk2. it just might depend on what kind of car it's going into as well, but i never buy anything that's generic.

 

I've had a total of 4 dif shifters,

cheap *** APC, dual bend I think
Edelbrock slanted to the side
B&M no bend
and then a stock GSR shifter

I liked the gsr shifter the most out of them all, length of throw was Barely noticeable.

 

I went through 4 as well
Stock GSR
STR
APC
B&M
Skunk2

The STR i dont think they make them anymore but it was nice because they were adjustable. APC broke on me. B&M no bend was nice i like it alot and then i end up with the dual bend Skunk2 and it was the best.

 

the skunk2 is a tad bit shorter in height compared to my gsr shifter. I like the skunk2 shifter alot. I was supprised when I put it in it didnt hit my exhast like my old autozone cheap short shifter in my crx.

 

skunk2 for the win.

 

i went thru 2 shifters. The first one got eatin up from the cheap TypeR repica shift ****. and not i got a skunk2 counter weight shift **** sitting on the B&M.

Tenzo R dual bend that came with the car.
B&M Dual bend (I got it from AutoWorks for $50)

 

I think the gsr shifter is nice. It allows you to have fun when driving and the throw is not too long. With the skunk2 shift **** it makes it alot better to drive also.

 

B&M no bend, with spoon shift ****. Love the combo, much better then stock. Throw is very small, took some time to get use to.

 

my car came with a dc sport short shift, which broke, its actually nice because its shorter now.

i have the same setup. it has everything i was expecting from most short shifters.. shorter throw.. and slightly lower height than stock. it also comes with a nice and loud rattle when i get over 7k rpms...

other than the rattle (which i have been too busy to fix and yes its fixable) its a great setup.

 

GSR shifter any different than LS/GS? I wouldn't think so but who knows.

 

whats the differents between bends and no bends??

How much farther you have to reach to get it into gears if you sit farther back,
I'm a lazy ***, and that was the one reason I didn't like the no bend b&m shifter.

 

i believe most of them are using Skunk2. single bend (LS.GS) dual bend (GSR,ITR). and dont buy cheaper ones, they broke. snap, bent. go right 1st time

thats what i have too.

B&M Edge shifter. i love it. if you have a stock seat, you have to sit a little bit closer to the steering wheel and that is uncomfortable if you are a big person.

i have a sparco bucket seat and a smaller momo wheel to comphensate for all that. lol

i have the B & M and it rubs on my heat shield, which is gay. i hate it, im guessing the skunk2 is a little better. but if i wouldve known this, i wouldve just kept the damn stock one.
