Short Throw Shifter

Do any companies actually make a short throw shifter for the 04 civic? If so whats the best one? Also are they hard to put in?

i'm assuming all the 01-03's parts would work on the 04...but don't take my word for it! (a little reading rainbow moment for you)

dont do that, the revo is short enough and the ebay adapters are crap. Trust me you will be very happy with the revo ss. Its one of my favorite mods and it doesnt make it hard to get into gear like some short throws.

i dont see what the heck those bushings do. i got them cuz everyone was nuts about them, but i really dont think they make a dif. at least not one that any human can feel! btw, i got a revo ss replica made by obx, works great, ive had it for about a year and a half (or more?). i didnt realize 04 had different shift assemblies!? its still the same two-cable system right?

Get the revo, you'll be very happy, and yes, it does fit 04's like Havok stated. Switched my revo (2002 civic) to an 04.

how much are u paying for the neuspeed SS?

the neuspeed SS is okay.. its one of the better adapters IMO.

but like all adapters, they just change the shifter cable linkage point. when the actual shift stick is shorten, there's more difference in shifting too... so thats why most people prefer the Revo SS or its OBX replica.

in either case though, no matter what u go for.. u'll get used to the shifting eventually. only when u hop back into a car with different shifter, will you remember and notice the difference.

the adapters leave the stick just as high as stock, but the revo is a full replacement, and so the stick and the throw are much shorter

^wrong, they are all the same

the only way you can get it to "sit" lower, is to cut it..which i don't suggest anyone should do...
