short shifters? how about B&M?
Just wondering how many of you guys use short shifters, and if anyone here has a B&M shifter on their CRX/Civic. I am putting one on my car this weekend, I am wondering what to expect -- or any installation advice you might give me (AKA, how to avoid screwing up my shift linkage or tranny)
? you want to guess what i have? good...

Re:short shifters? how about B&M?
I have broken 2 'short shifters' that were bought on Ebay. They are only about hlaf an inch shorter than stock. Buy a B&M or do what I did, get a junk stock shifter, hack a couple of inches off, sand the edges down, and slap on a shift ****. Work great ANDs cheap and long lasting.

Re:short shifters? how about B&M?
I got a cheap one off ebay and ordered some bushings from options auto(paid more for shipping than the bushings)
the only problem i had was that the end of my shift linkage (89 crx si, btw) was hitting on my stock exhaust when in 5th gear so i had to sawzal a little off
it didn't lower the shift **** height much but the throw is much better, probably due to the non-worn-out bushings
