Short Shifter or Stock Shifter Preference...
 

Just curious of who actually STILL rocks the stock shifter. I still do and I'm thinking about buying the eGay special and was curious of what all of you run. If an aftermarket shifter what make and style (Dual Bend, Road Race, etc.).

I saw in FS a guy made a Road Race shifter and I had some time after traction bar fab work to make one. I'll get pics up later, but the only thing is I rock the stock shifter still and the pull is a little long due to the extra length. :-\ Also, I like the stock looking shifter knob but the plastic threads inside aren't the same as the 3/8 all-thread rod and won't tighten down all the way. Any suggestions?

P.S. Thank you for your opinions and suggestions contributed to my post/poll! ;) ;D

Short shifters ruin Honda trannies.

i thought i wanted one, put one in and now i plan on swapping back to stock. takes more leverage to get into gear, and almost defeats the need for the quicker throw of the short shifter, you have to actually slam it into gear, or you find yourself taking longer to shift. i dont recommend any short shifter for a honda.

my short shifter is like a b&m one and it is sometimes hard to get it to first if you downshifting. and jingles alittle bit in 2nd as its rubing against my 3" exhaust. but from what i have heard one of the better short shifters is the skunk2 short shifter.

I like mine. I put them in all my cars.

I've seen people talking about how you have to double-clutch to keep from breaking stuff with a short shifter. Seems to defeat the purpose, because you can't tell me that you can double clutch and still shift faster than with a stock shifter.
Anyway to answer the question, I'm using a stock shifter, but I have an aftermarket knob which sits lower to start with, and cut some of the threads off so its shorter. I did this mostly to not obstruct the LCD screen I installed in the staock radio/ashtray area.

I had the B&M edge shifter in my integra and loved it. In my last civic I overhauled the shifter by replacing the rubber washers, removing all the rust and re-greasing everything and that makes a big difference too. I'd say its up to you but don't get one of those cheap ones, there prone to breaking.

Is there any proof to this? I've heard a few things but its hard to seperate truth between interweb foklore
