Short Shifter Question

[IntegraB18LS]

I have a E-Bay one, it works great - is a much shorter throw - stock height.

My friend has a B&M in his civic

Mine has a much short throw then his but out of both of them I like the feel of the stock integra shifter - I think it was short enough just the way it was to not miss any gears or anything.

um, my friend's Integra's shifter feels like I'm pulling on a 4ft pole when I drive it, but prolly because I'm just used to mine..

yeah i have had mine for almost a year and have had no problems........so not sure why you did.......know a lot of people with short shifters and they have no probs either.

Maby I'll wait until next week to post again so she will get off her period.

great if your tranny hasnt gone bad yet, but sounds like you dont know how sinchros work or how fast shifting affects them. A dx you say whats the point of having a short shifter in a 17 sec. car???

Im here trying to help and you guys just talk shit like its going to prove something.

Ill post when I go to the track with my car so you "REAL MEN" with your big mouths can talk to my face and see what happens.

Try 14 second car douchebag, I had nitrous on it. You put the "ass" in "assumptions".. I know how synchros work and I know shifting gears with a short shifter won't fuck em up unless you grind every shift. I like to have the clutch in when I shift, so maybe since I know how to work a standard that's why it never went bad.

Your supposed to push in the clutch when you shift?!?!?!

haha yeah last I heard... S13GTR thinks since he can't drive nobody else can either, and buying a shifter will screw up your car
