Anyone have experience with a good short shifter? I want to get one, but don't know what is good. Someone tell me their good experience please?

I have a B&M edge shifter and it works great on my 99 INtegra LS
the throw is drastically shorter and you can chose two different shifting feels by the position of the bushings. They are pretty cheap to about $60

Where did you get yours?

integralsWFO · 02-13-2002, 07:22 PM

I bought mine from the NOPI show in Pigeon Forge but nopi.com has them for 58.62

Besides having a shorter throw, does anything else feel different? Have you ever miss shifts because it is so short? Does it have the "click" or that notch?

After I first installed it O k this is kinda embarising but I missed 2nd gear at a Friday night street fight at bristol dragway because the throw was much shorter than stock and my foot did not push in the clutch as fast as I could slam it back in second but after a week it does not even feel like you have a short shifter until you drive a car that does not have one.

So, I guess besides the shorter throw, the feel is the same then?

Did you lower your car too? Do you have any suggestions on the lowering springs?

It feels a little stiffer but that really depends on where you mount the bushings.

Yeah its lowered I used Tanabe Super Down Procedo springs and Koni adjustable shocks they seem to do good It was only about a 2 inch drop but I have 18's so I could not go much lower. I like a regular coil splring better than coilovers the ride is much better

anyone have a C's shifter?
Is it really worth $300?

jdm shifter

Yes, it is a JDM shifter, and damn damn damn expensive. But know what? It ain't worth 300...

And I personally love my Neuspeed shifter. It doesn't have that rattle from the metal bushing tapping on the B&M Edge (dont' know if the Edge Pro does it)

I had the Edge...damn, nice shifter, good solid feel, but toooooo noisy.

The Neuspeed is shorter, just as solid, and quiet (cause you can fit the plastic spacer between the bushing and the shifter)

Pricey too though cause it cost me 150

I recommend the Skunk2 short shifter and knob.
