Short Shifter for B18C swap in EK
Hi guys,
I am planning to do the swap in my 99 EK hatchback sometime in the future. Can anyone recommend me as to where I can buy a decent one for a great deal in the GTA and the brand to get. I only need it for street use so I don't want something very expensive. thanks for any help. |
B&M short shifter
|
How about the Solo shifters Are they any good?
|
Forget about Solo, B&M is your choice.
|
Guess if I'm going to shift, why not shift with the best. thanks man
|
my advice is get the B&M short shifter (approx $70-80) and the Energy suspension shifter stabilizer bushings($17-20) and u will love it. Awesome upgrade for anyone with worn our shifter bushings.
|
in my opinion honda's cable shifters are far superior... so i'd suggest dropping the b18c idea and go h22 :drivesafe
|
I'd say worry about your swap for now. You're just street driving, so a short shifter shouldn't be on your list of things to buy right away anyway.

I had an opportunity to meet a guy with an H22 in his EG hatch and I can remember him vaguely telling me he had problems with his suspension. Guess I'll do a search and see from ppl how much trouble it takes to swap in an H22 which I would love to have by no means. I chose to go with B18 as it's pretty much plug and play as long as I get an Si engine wiring harness. So what do you guys think, H22? [I'd say worry about your swap for now. You're just street driving, so a short shifter shouldn't be on your list of things to buy right away anyway. B&M shifter is only $80 or so? That is pretty cheap considering I was told by Astroboy long ago shifters by Neuspeed or DC sports is going to cost over $100 |
i have the b&m short shifter and im getting my energy polyurethane bushings installed tommorow.u cant even move the shifter one inch when u have them both installed its really crisp.
|
B&M owns DC sports etc, pm astroboy asbout it.
|
get the b&m with the built in pivot bearing, its the more expensive model but so much better
|
is the B&M a 2 bend or single bend design? Does Astroboy still sell them?
|
Yes he does
|
I'll be sure to give Astroboy a PM sometime, thanks for the advice.
How much more is the one with the pivot and the double bend shifter? |
about $150-200 i believe for hte pivot one.
|
I see Skunk2 wasn't mentioned, so i will. They make a great shifter as well, top of the line is around $200. Juss another option
pickme: |
