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)

 

I installed a B&M short shifter in my civic and my friends civic. They are really easy to put in and you won't screw anything up. Just follow the directions and you will be fine.

 

the throws on hondas/acuras are really short inthe first place.

 

install the shift stabalizer bushing from energy suspension at the same time.

 

---- a B&M, they sell those damn SS on ebay for 8-15bucks...or 60-100bucks for a B&M/DC Sport/whatever? you want to guess what i have? good...

 

nothing beats the the Garrison modified gsr short shifter

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.

 

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
