Alright so I know that short shifters are made to shorten up how far you actually have to shift, but will the height be changed at all? Also while were at it, what brands do you have experience with?

my experience....

~ yes, throw is reduced!
~ yes, it is lowered somewhat in height
~ once you get this installed opt for atleast a 340g shift **** or so, cuz even though the throw is reduced and youll find the gears faster (not trying to fish for them). Then with a stock shift **** will make it a bitch to shift right.
~ M-R short shifter kit i just had installed never came with gaskets of any sort but that was fixed using gasket maker, but then oil was splashing out the top side of the kit so a rubber boot from a balljoint was used (customized to fit) over the top end so oil would be re-directed back into the transcase had any oil splashed up under hard shifting.


good luck

To me that looks like you are trying to be arrogant turd. Look at me, I have a skyline with rwd. oops, I forgot its not a civic. look at my new shift ****. You should get a new **** too.

Seriously man, isn't there a skyline forum you can join so you can leave us alone?

If you get an expensive short shifter that includes a whole new shift lever then it will be shorter. If you use a cheaper short shift kit, like DC Sports, then it uses your stock shift lever, but relocates where the cable attaches, which shortens the throw, but leaves it at stock height.

first of all...this is a PUBLIC forum the last time i remember?
im not being arrogant, i tried to help this guy out from my experience with my M-R SS kit, i had posted it not really considering FWD, RWD or even mid-engine setup really?

good decision. im wanting to get one soon too. alot of ppl have that type r style ****. id say go with something diff and be creative.

Well a friend of mine has the **** and i was wondering if that weight was okay? Weight was mentioned as being a must for a shift **** when doing a short shifter above.

 
Rep Power: 235

Alright, so just another question...How would cutting your shift rod down and welding the threaded part back on work? Would this work the same as a revo? I can get a another rod fairly cheap, so just seeing if that would work.

Installed the Revo SS kit on my 2001 Ex couple months back. Got the shifter bushings that Mr. Plenty got...good stuff! Don't know what the others are like, but the Revo is nice. Shifter height dropped @ 1-1.5 inches...much shorter, confident shifting. Also got the RSX 5spd shift ****...nice clean look, has some weight to it (less gear finding) and it's honda/acura equip!
