OEM is the only way for me - short shifters kill your tranny

B&M has been making shifter since before Hondas were concieved... bad *** shifters Neuspeed makes... nothing, it's just a name that they license out.

I know neuspeed is great for VW's. Dont realy know many ppl that have Neuspeed parts in there Hondas. I would go with B&M.

yeah, it's true... gotta really think about your shifting cuz in high rpm shifts, clutch in all the way... the shift is still quicker than the synchros, so there is usually a scratch, esp 1-2 shift. That 2nd gear synchro sees some abuse... well not in my case, cuz I've only done that once and I've backed off since and I now granny shift.

Ahhh man........ That really doesn't make me wanna get it now. So what would be a proper way to shift with a short shifter. That question goes for anyone...

Would it be just a gentle pull to each gear with the clutch fully de-pressed???

Thanks,

Basically you just can't jam the shifter into gear... you'll get the feel for it.

I use B&M race version short shifter on my DX tranny. I don't really shift that fast and since day one, I always shift with clutch all the way down to the floor. The only time it grinds is in reverse but that is just hard for a DX tranny, sometimes, it doesn't go in (even with my OEM shifter). That happened once in a blue moon.

I love the shifter, even shorter than generic short shifters.

Skunk2. I have had mine now for a couple of weeks, and I never miss a shift, or grind gears like I used to when I had my Solo and the OEM shifter before that. Improper shifting techniques kills your tranny, not the shifters. If you are not racing and shifting like crazy, the gears should never grind anyway. Learn to take it easy, and be smooth with your shifts, or just granny shift like bbarbulo.

Alright I'm going with the B&M. Witch Short Shifter is the best to go with?

Thanks,

I like it... solid peice!!

It is basically the regular shifter 40% faster then OEM, and race version is 54% faster then OEM. Price wise race version being somewhere 250 - 270, and you can expect less from the regular short shifter.

00 Civic SiR

Ya I'm getthing the 54% shifter. The thing is, it doesn't say wether this is a 40% or 54% shifter on the site.

Anyhow thanks everyone,

Nova_Dust

Good choice, you will love it

00 Civic SiR

Thanks Nova. Also I'm going to get the bushing kit. Oh let's not forget a MOMO shift ****. It's called Race Airleather.

Everything should go well

Nova_Dust

Bushing for the short shift? If so, it will come with it.
