Comptech Short Shifter Review

So knowing from how the 2006 accord V6 6mt coupe shifter feels i knew the 06 Si short shifter could be reduced some and was anticipating the release of a god quality one.

Here comes comptech with it's short shifter. Ofcourse quality is alwasy associated with comptech and so i didn't hesitate to buy it even if it was the first on the market.

Part arrived this morning and after scrutinizing i noticed the high quality workmanship or machining that went into the part. Not sure of the material used but it looks like copper.

Got the part installed and fit and finish are perfect! It shouldn't take more than 7 minutes to get this thing done and if i was to do it again it would take me even less time. Instractions provided are all that is needed and a small alen key.

One can definately feel a difference in the fore and aft movement. For that alone it is worth buying. You absolutely know and feel that it is shorter!! The shifting is a lot faster obviously now the the motion has been shortenned, it feels smoother for the same reason. 1 through 6 was a joy before and now i cannot find a word to describe it as it is a lot more pleasurable to drive and shift!

So go buy the damn thing!!! There is no need to wait for another IMO.

Sorry i couldn't get any pics up cuz my girl has my camera.
