replacing the bitch pin will also help a ton with cleaning up a sloppy old shifter.

If it is truelly "billet aluminum" like it says, then it should last.

I guess the one i bought was exceptionally shitty or else it had a defect. I put it in on sunday and the threads broke off in the **** the next morning backing out of my driveway. I JB welded the ****** back on and it last about another 2 months. I was driving back into town from a freinds house and ripped on it from a stop light, slammed third and the shifter broke off at the pivot and my fist hit the climate control. IMO those billet alminum shifters aren't worth ----. i had to drill a hold down the center of it so i could stick a metal dowl pin in there to get my car home... drilled like butter. They are ----.

coupl eyears ago I had a "type R" short shifter in my old crx. It broke at the threads, but left like 2 threads on, so it was even shorter. I loved it. and back then, I drove a stock dx crx so I was slamming through gears like a bitch. I shift pretty normal now. I'm gonna buy a new short shifter soon. RIght now I have a dual bend shifter, but I like the look of a shorter one more. Just installed ES shifter stabilizer bushings. Made a world of difference.
