I am in the market for a short shifter. I went to a local shop here in SLC (Regulate) to price how much they wanted one for. I was hoping that my fellow HAN peeps would give me the :thumbup: or :down: on these prices and types. Here is what they quoted me:

Skunk @ -- $150.00
Tanabe -- $59.00

Remember that this is without install and for the polly urthrane bushing its another $10-$15 bones. So I know that the Skunk 2 is better but I can't work with that price right now. So what are your thoughts about the Tanabe? :dunno: Also are these good prices for them? Thanks guys. :thumbup:

Westcoaststyle, if you can beat any of these prices please PM me. :thumbup: I tried to use my PM but it is being stupid so let me know. Thanks.

 

Oh one more question, for those who have installed a short shifter before is it hard? This shop said they would do it for $55.00, is that reasonable?

 

You have a PM. Not it's not hard to install. You just have to get under the car. And, NO< $55.00 isn't reasonable, but $20.00 is. They must not have any competition there....

 

tanabe makes a short shifter for civics?.......just buy a skunk2 short shifter off ebay from $80-$100....save the extra $35

 

screw all of those i bought a ebay shifter and some es poly ureathane bushings, and its a great shifter.Paired with a razo 450 grams shifter and its ultra smooth.Just as good as any brand name but for only 15 bucks.

 

ebay shifters break cause they are cheap aluminum......skunk2 is steel and dam near unbreakable

 

mine is pretty sturdy i shift pretty hard, i dont think its gonna break. It depends on what vendor you get it from

 

i've broken two ebay shifters and both times were on highway....it was funny first time but the second pissed me off....if you want quality and a warranty with a shifter get b&m or skunk2 dual bend

 

Get a Skunk

 

i got one......if that shiet breaks i'm getting an autoh:
