Just wondering what you guys think about shortshifters in your 96-00 Civics? Any preference or do you think leave it stock? :happysad:

 

I'm using a Skunk2 double bend shifter. Very nice.

 

no grinding or anything?

 

why would a shortshifter cause grinding..?

 

probably when people with shortshifters try to to shift even faster before the clutch is engaged

 

Yeah I did that when I first got my dc sports

I havent heard any real negatives with shortshifts.. except for the uber cheap ones breaking in half on a shift... and that was more of a wives tale

 

Agree with these two Civic Racer's.

 

i put one on my del sol, and at first all i noticed was that the bend wasnt in the same place, but after I got used to it, it started to feel stock to me. Even now i cant tell the difference

 

I think it made a nice differnence. I am so use to it now it does not make a difference. But when I drive another stick it feels really weird.

 

I have an ebay special double bend w/ Neuspeed Bushings. Love it...had it for 3 years. about a wrist throw f/ first to 2nd etc. Took a day or so to get used to the much shortened throw b/c i wasnt sure if i went far enough to get in gear. It was about 50-60% less throw.
