Re:Installed Short Shifter today
I bought one of those $15 ones off egay and I think it might be why I'm grinding gears. I don't remember if it did it when I got my car cuz i threw the shifter on there like a week after i got the car. I guess it could be the synchros too cuz it only does it at high rpm shifts, except when goin into third, when it does it anywhere over 3000rpm. Mebbe I should take it off and see if the grinding goes away.

Re:Installed Short Shifter today
the previous owner of my car did the old hack and re-weld job on the stock crx piece. needless to say it lasted 8 years for him. but 1 month after i had it it broke in two between the bottom pivot and the pivot ball. Atleast i was in a low enough gear (2nd) that I could still drive it to a shop.
stock new shifter was 115 CA$
solo shorty + ES bushings was 95 CA$ guess which i got?
