Possible fix for 3rd gear guys!

swarm · 04-09-2007, 01:26 PM

Omnipowerusa makes a quick clutch master cylinder for our cars.IT will eliminate misshifts due to our short shifters. Since most of us have short shifters im sure many of us have noticed problems with third gear and other gears.It's not because we cant drive our cars or that honda made a bad trannsmission.Its because our clutch cylinders are still stock but our shifters are much shorter.Omnipower states that each shift will be completed up to 1/4 of a second faster.Do the math through all 6 gears.Heres the link to their page.They dont have the model for our cars on the site but they do make it.I called them.Check it out,and its not expensive to do.

I have a short shifter, and no problems shifting into any of the gears at any speed, or any condition.

to me it looks like it only works w/ ap1, dc2, eg and eks

yeah, on their website they have it listed for those cars,in the new modified mag they are showing it as being out for the dc5 and fg2's.If you read what it does for your car it's pretty impressive.Maybe I will be a guinea pig, to me it looks like a pretty sweet mod for cheap(somewhat).Anyway i'm always on the lookout for new perfomance parts for our cars.Sorry if you guys dident care but I sometimes have issues with 3rd gear on my car and i can see why putting on a master cylinder that needs less pedal travel to shift would work extremly well with our short shifters.This is just my opinion.

I guess it makes sense. If you shorten your shift throw why not shorten your pedal range?

stevenshizzle · 04-10-2007, 03:46 PM

I wonder how hard it is to install one of these?

I thought one of the benefits installing a short shifter is not getting that dreaded 2-3 grind anymore? I have a TWM SS and bushings on the way and it should arrive here tomorrow. BTW, I don't have any issues with the 1-2 or 2-3 grind but I don't want it either. So by installing a Short shifter and bushings will I increase my chances of misshifting?
