Short Shifter, any suggestions?

Is it worth the money?

Which one would you guys recommend and why.

I'm, not looking for some crazy expensive JDM part. I want bang for buck, more on the function side then form.

But good look would be nice too!

solo or b&m.....Japanese? Nothing but a C's short shift kit will do But you didn't want Japanese ...heeheh


oh and change your shifter bushings to polyurethane or hard rubber bushings while you're at it

If you want cheap, Solo is decent. I'm gonna use the Skunk2 dual bend with ES bushings.

A friend of mine has a Skunk2 shifter in his Integra and has no complaints.

JDM or USDM I don't really care, it's quality I'm looking for.

I'm looking for the AEM of short shifters. Not crappy tire and on the other hand not Mugen.

How much money am I looking at spending?

I'm using a Solo one with Energy Suspension bushings. The shifter will probably cost anywhere from $80-$110, depending where you get it. As for the bushings, you're looking anywhere from $20-$30.

By the way. Is a short shift adapter any good? Does anyone have one?

imported_SW20 MR2

Neuspeed and Skunk2 are probably what you're looking for. Solo is on the lower end, and C's is on the high end. I'll be installing my Skunk2 one next week, so if you want, you can check it out at one of the meets when I get the car back.

What do you mean by adapter? The only SSA's are the ones for Accord's and Lude's. SS's for those cars don't use levers like the Civic/Teg.

Whiplash

the only years needing the ss are the 2001, 2002
i've got the solo on mine and also installed it on Spleeny's and both are doing great..

imo 2001+..solo and solo shift **** (honda thread..)..

Got my Solo short shifter for $90, so far its been great.

i was thinking DC Sports, or maybe just because of the name is the reason behind it,
-> i had an after market one before on my old EF but i never took it off when i got into the accident. that one was fine, i wish i knew the manufactuer though.

imported_SW20 MR2

DC ones are known to actually snap.

imported_Slvr-Bullet

Heard that about the Solo too but I'm not sure if they fixed that prob.

Neuspeed vs solo, what's the difference?

I hear Neuspeed is something like $175. Is that worth it or am I just paying for the choice of having it in any anodized colour?

imported_nautica_t

oh crap are you serious!!
shiet shiet,

hmm
i guess Skunk2 than -> skunk2 are good right

what's this about C's?? never heard of them

ryuujin

if you're paying for $175 for the Neuspeed, I'd much rather get the Skunk2 one Just personal preference.

C's is a Japanese short shift company, and from what I've read online, they're like the first company to make a short shifter and apparently the companies that have followed, are all adaptations of their own version based off the C's shifter kit I'm not sure how legitimate that claim is, but C's is a very good SS company that's for sure

I have a B&M in my 4th gen. i love it. I think i need a shifter bushing thought. where can i get one? can anyone install it?

ryuujin

go pick up some ES bushings from Speedtech, or you can order some Mugen hard rubber bushings heheheh

I've read that polyurethane bushings are more notchy (not exactly sure what that refers to in terms of the feel of the shift), while hard rubber bushings (Spoon & Mugen make them I know) feel more firm but less notchy (again I'm lost as to what this sensation feels like in a shift )

imported_SW20 MR2

C's is really hardcore. I've heard nothing but good things about it, but there's no way I'm spending $500 on a SS.

imported_nautica_t

holy smokes??
5 bills for a peiece of medel
lol
sorry that's the way i see it..
but damn yeah 5 bills is ridiculs
you can buy other things with 5 bills.
