short shifter

[deevergote]

I converted back to stock, and while the throws ARE annoyingly long, the shifts are much more accurate and smooth. I'll take accurate and smooth over shorter anyday.

I dropped my bucket lower and it's nice - I decided against doing a short shifter for just the reasons mentioned. I've just learned to shift harder =)

well that was some very useful informatio. I had a ss on my db and my tranny went out, but prior to that it was grinding on 3rd and 5th im pretty sure the ss made it worst to the point of breakdown. THANKS GUYS

If the throw is too short, it can be bad. The transmission could be sitting in a "partial shift" state when it should be completely neutral. That can do some major damage to the synchronizers, and potentially the shifter fork itself.

is this also an issue with short shift adapters? or just the actual short shifters mentioned above? The adapter im considering is Neuspeed, but im kinda worried about the issues you guys brought up.

a regular aftermarket short shifter wont hurt your tranny. Pretty sure the only ones that did were the super light aluminum ones.

any shifter modification can hurt the tranny. A short shifter causes more force to be applied to the shift forks and can bend the shift forks as well as cause damage to the synchros by forcing them to mesh too quickly.

Yeah, what the shifter is made out of means absolutely nothing. ALL short shifters simply relocate the mounting point of the cables. The $200 fancy pieces do the exact same function as the $2 Home Depot brackets.

That shifter looks like a civic or integra shifter, not a cb. There is no cable tabs
