Default Short shifter or adapter?

Was thinkin about gettin a short shifter or adapter. Any suggestions on which one? How hard is it to install? I hear you gotta go under the car to get the old shifter out?

Nope, not on the accord. I've been considering a short shifter too. Anyone had experiecne with

knock-off brands (no ball bearing)
DC Sports (with ball bearing)
and P-spec ( whole new stick)

Yeah, how about the ones from Neuspeed, that's what I'd like to get...

I have one from DC Sports a friend got me, and it's pretty nice. After I installed it I could tell a major difference in throw compaired to stock, especially into 2nd and 4th gear.

the 4bidden is a whole new shifter, not just an adapter. it also is a shorter stick too, so it looks good too.

would u suggest the adapter or changing the whole shifter? I know the adapter only reduces throwback by like 35% where as the shifter about 40%. But can you really tell the difference between the two?

yeah... get the whole shifter... makes the transition between gears smoother too.
