Why Short Shift? - Bona Fide Tech Tips
Short shift kits are a great start for tuners, so we've put together these bona fide tech tips to help you through deciding whether or not you want to install one of these.For Those Interested In Doing Things Quicker, A Short Shifter Is A Good Start.
But short shifters don't necessarily shorten your shifter-they shorten the throw. This means you can bang through the gears quicker, even easier in some cases. Although some might think a short shifter is simply nothing more than a lopped-off factory shift lever, it's not. Do this and you just might screw up the complex, engineered mechanism that Honda spent a considerable amount of time developing. Any shift lever-OEM and engineered short shifters-are carefully constructed so that each upper throw corresponds and synchs with what's going on inside the transmission. There's math involved here, which means simply cutting off an inch or so up top probably isn't a good idea.
