yeahhh its the shit.. if you dont have a short shifter, get one.. i went with what i could get now, which was a APC short shifter at pep boys but it works and its still better than the stock one... im happy with it for now

i have to agree its a great upgrade for the d series trans. but we might start a pro/cons of short shifter debate here. i believe they could cause some excessive wear to your synchrose(sp?).

yeah ive heard a lot of things about short shifters causing your gearbox to mess up, affecting your tranny and all kinda stuff but has anyone actually had any problems caused from a short shifter? first hand, personally had problems, not "i heard about this one time"...blabla

i have never had problems nor met anyone but you do hear about it from time to time on websites like honda-tech.com

I know a bunch of people that have them and have had no problems. But i have heard of the issue before. and you never know if the install was just a little wrong or if when they shift they are pretty much trying to put the shift knob through the dash.

yep thats true it all depends on the driver and how they treat it

i dont think anyone can directly blame a short shifter for trans problems but i have heard of people installing a SS and like 6months later their synchros go, related? proubly but i cant prove it.

It could be a possibility but who knows the synchros could have been old already!

...or if when they shift they are pretty much trying to put the shift knob through the dash.
Haha maybe I shouldn't get a short shifter then, that's how I drive. I slam the thing into gear, my buddy yells at me whenever I do it in front of him. But I don't really care about the motor or tranny since it's a 70hp slow dog.

exactly.
