Default Short Shifter Sujestions

What is the best one to get? I had a pilot on my last hatch and the throw was short but the top of the shifter was the same hieght. Im looking at one that the top is shorter. Anybody say what is good or bad by experience??

Skunk2 is what I've got, it's great. Short throw, superb quality and the perfect height.

Ya I just bought it... can't wait to put it in. I also got the skunk2 knob as well and M/T shifter bushings. Which brings me to my question. What exactly do after market shifter bushings do, if anything. They were only 9 bucks from optauto, so I figured why not

I've got the matching billet shift knob from Skunk2 also as well as prothane bushings for it. They make a big difference. They make the shifts much better feeling, thy click better and are so smooth, you can feel everything a lot more. The bushings were a good investment, trust me.

i have the b&m edge shifter, with the genuine acura rsx 5 speed shift knob.. the only complaint i have is that it rattles sometimes, and i havent been able to figure out why. :dunno: other than that its a great shifter, good height and throw.
