short sifter!!!!!!

yoooooo!!!!!

well anyways i was thinking of putting a shortshiter in my car but i dont know if i should?? should i??

Why wouldn't you? I'm going to once I get money to spend on my car. Helps out a lot. I have a friend that has a short shifter on his car and it makes a big difference.

i wuz thinking of taking my car to the shop for they could put it on but, u can buy a short shifter and pep boyz. should i buy and put it on my self or let them do it!!!!

If you care about performance and not having some namebrand part on your car, you can take the factory shifter and cut it below the pivot point and weld in a socket or some other round metal rod to lengthen the shifter. Me and a friend did this to his factory del sol shifter and the throw is only about 2 inches between gears...dude it is sweeeet.

i dont want to spend more than i have to. does it take long to put on a short shifter,cuz i dont want to take all day doing that shit. and i wouldnt know what im doing. i just read the maunal but i dont know if i do it right??

If you can change your oil, or put in a intake, or install some speakers. You can put in a short shifter.

They are great to have, and do help out between shifting.

I absolutly LOVE my short shifter!
Well worth the money.

Install is a breeze, i did it by myself in 3 hours. If you have some help it would go alot faster.

i got my short shifter off ebay, for like $20, really short. took me like an hour to do it

you could weld a socket or something in there but once you get in a race and your adrenaline is pumpin you gonna be screwed when it braks of in your hand. short throw shifter is a good idea by the way..but if your bushings are shot your still gonna have alot of extra movement

dude if you weld it good it wont break. if it breaks then you cant weld for shit

Lol, Welding short shifters.... Well, just get a B&M Short Shifter, or a Hurst Shifter, made out of STEEL and will NOT break, and not that expensive at all..... Just get the Neuspeed Bushings......

Dude dont do all that welding, go to pep boys or autozone or whatever thier cheap.

alls im saying is if you make your own short shifter you can make the throw as short as you want. i have an aftermarket hurst short throw and its really not all that different from stock

you probably need new bushings if it isn't short enough. if you get it too short than you'll have problems getting in to gear. I just don't like riggin things up. any part you buy already made has probably been tested alittle. if you want to make it shorter than you can get an adjustable one but there can still be problems with it being too short. I got one from autozone for 29 bucks and it works great my integra ran a 12.7 last time I was at the track al;l motor. I put 12.4 in an earlier message put it was a typo and I put it as a new thread anyway. not trying to argue//just voicing my opinion:smoka:

I have a Hurst with Energy Suspension Bushings and I love it.

I just installed a Skunk2 shifter with Skunk2 knob. I highly reccomend you buy yourself a good short shifter. The junk from pep boys is ok but still is junk. The skunk2 is counterwieghted and gives you one of the best feeling short shifters I have ever felt in a Honda. I would do the bushings like 4th gen has. That is next on my list. I paid 130 for both the knob and shifter. It took me 10 minutes to install it. If you want to know how to put in a shifter I guess I could run it down if you want.

-undo shift knob,shift boot and rubber dust cover underneath boot.
- jack car up, get under and drop down the 2 nuts(12mm?) at the end of the shift linkage.
- follow the shift linkage towards your tranny and undo the nut and bolt that holds it in place. At this point the shift rod and shifter should come out. (you may have to undo your exhaust if its in the way)
- Undo the 2 10mm bolts that are left and replace your shifter. Adding grease where the "ball" is can help with smoothness if there isnt much grease left. Install is reverse of removal.

If I left anything out someone correct me.

I got a DC sports short shifter, and I love it. It was relatively cheap, and the throw is a little less than half of the stock length. It took about an hour to put in, with my dad helping a little.

If ya get down to AUTO ZONE there on clearance 50% off (that would be $20 here in Fresno) there getting rid of all the older stuff like the short shifters. I got a Blue one last week and I LOVE IT. Makes shifting fast and fun!!!!!!!!!!!

[shit all this reading makes me excited, now i want to do it right now. so wheres the best place to buy a shifter????

I got mine from www.modacar.com I think.

Short-throw shifter is an easy install, but I would recommend that you get yourself some urethane shifter bushings at the same time. I got a set of Energy Suspension bushings for $15 shipped, I think the Neuspeed ones are about the same price. Only took me about an hour and a half to get my shifter in, went like this:

- Remove shift knob, e-brake handle, center console.
- Remove rubber dust-cap at base of OEM shifter.
- Jack up the car.
- Remove the two 12mm bolts from the back end of the stabilizer bar.
- Remove the bolt from the front end of the stabilizer bar (up at the tranny).
- Remove the bolt from the shifter linkage/shifter.
- Remove the shifter from the stabilizer bar, should be two 10mm bolts.
- swap the rubber dust seal from the stock shifter over to the short-shifter, as well as the plate that attaches the shifter to the stabilizer bar.
- This is a good time to replace the bushings at the front and back ends of the stabilizer bar with urethane bushings.
- Re-assemble everything in the reverse order...

Has anyone had a Neuspeed short shifter? I'm thinking about getting one because I heard it is a lot shorter than the rest. I found a place to get one for $100. Didn't think that was bad, because I know most places have the Neuspeed for about $130.

where can u get the bushing??

Or you can go to www.massivemotorsports.com (http://www.massivemotorsports.com) also for neuspeed bushings.

Just watch out on how short you go I made one out of the stock one after I took it out to put shorter one in. All went great but i Intalled it and now it is really hard to put in gear and it hits the bracket. It is now about 1/2" long after ball. hehe oh well hehe
