    Short Shift Adapter

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-1997-Ho...b2c37d&vxp=mtr

    I just did the DIY short shift adapter, and it seems to work pretty well. i was just looking for something a little more permanent. I found this on ebay but i dont really understand how it connects to the stick, or how you would install this.

      it looks like the hole slides over the connecting shaft on your shifter, and provides another mounting point about an inch above it, decreasing the throw necessary for a shift. i guess the set-screw tightens down on the back side of the shifter, locking the new piece in place. I dont like how it only has one, small set screw, those come loose on me all the time. I wouldnt trust it.

          Please use the edit button if you have something to add. Otherwise, you may find your post count reset to 0 because half of your posts are "oh yeah, and..."

          Anyway, the DIY adapter does EXACTLY the same thing as any fancier looking piece you can buy elsewhere. All it does is change the location of the cable mounting point.

          From my own experience, shortening the shift causes wear on the transmission, and will result in grinding and difficult, notchy shifting. I'll take a smooth long throw over forcing it into gear with a short shifter any day! I nearly blew my engine racing due to my short shifter (which, in my case, is a modified stock shifter with a new mounting point welded on.) I redlined 3rd, and due to the notchiness, I didn't realize when I slammed it into 2nd instead of 4th. I was lucky. A number of other guys on this site did the same thing... and ended up doing damage to expensive H22s.

            I tried the diy short shifter and like deev said, it's notchy and I didn't like it. I just swapped to a prelude shifter instead.

            I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.
