short shifters

[The G-Man]

I'm beginning to notice that everyone with a short shifter setup has been experiencing problems... shifting becomes difficult. I'm going to put mine back to stock.

Really? I have an adapter and it seems sometimes it is hard to downshift to third, put in first when taking off (ex. sitting at a light), and sometimes very difficult to get in reverse.

I been hearin rumors to about certain adapters on CBs gettin harder an harder after a couple months to shift. Not to scare anyone, but i jus heard after a whil some of them start to mess up. I'm jus leavin mine stock cuz u already shift fast enough anyway, Jus depends on the driver.

I have the Neuspeed short shift adapter. I also reduced the height of the shifter via the baseplate flip method, which reduces about 1" off the total height of the shifter.

The shift is slightly more notchy than stock, but once the car is warmed up, it's as smooth as when it was without the adapter. The shifts feel better though, and I honestly feel like I have more precision. I've never had an issue with shifting into the incorrect gear.

I fully recommend the Neuspeed adapter.

im running the same way you are and i would have it no other way!

I think the problem is in everyone's perception that just because we have a short shifter, we can shift gears faster ...which is obviously not the case.... there is still that hesitation before the transmission shifts gears....

I actually like my short shifter....although it is of stock height...so it is a little easier to shift than the short length shifters (I can still shift gears with one finger)

x2 all it does is shorten the duration between shifts. YOu want to shift quicker buy a sequential or dogbox.

Try shifting slower(I seemed to have the same issue until I figured it out)....we are use to shifting fast from our original throw shifters...with a short throw shifter, because the shift time is the same, but the shift throw is shorter, we have to consciously shift slower...then it will work like magic!

Could we find one for our cars?....one that would fit the F20's F22's and the H22?...hmmm specially one for FWD

i got a prelude shifter FTW! its actually shorter. but i dont have a tranny so it doesnt matter anyways.

lol...hang it on your wall

Forbidden makes a good shifter with a little modification

I know they make dogboxes for those applications as you mentioned. CTC (dunno if they are still around local people) built B series dogboxes and stuff. Forgot if they made H22 stuff. However if you want an H22 sequential your gonna have to shell out some money. Xtrac and only a few companies make them and they aint cheap.

Those rumors you have heard are incorrect, at least in the case of the Neuspeed adapter.

I've had mine on my car for well over a year now, and have driven the car in almost 0 degree weather without a single issue.

I think it's one of the best modifications I've ever done to the car.
