Which Short Shifter?

scubastevect64 · 11-28-2007, 11:54 AM

I can't decide where this should go, so this is where I shall put it

My skunk2 shiftknob is sitting in a box at home waiting for me, so I decided while I'm in class I shall look at short shifters.
I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on which ones are the best overall / Which ones are best with skunk2
Thanks everyone

Well i just ordered the TMW Short Shifter, Base Bushing & Cable Bushings.
I called them first to make sure i was buying the right stuff, and they really know thier stuff. Very helpful over the phone, hopefully I'll get it by friday.

I had been looking at corsport, but I'm open to any. I don't know alot about cars so I look to 8th civic to make ALOT of my decisions. LOL. any advice would be great. mainly ones that go well with skunk2 knob (if any of them can "go well")

Pro...thanks +1

Well TWM offers the whole package which comes out to like 130$ with shipping.
But if u only want the ss, then i guess if really doesnt matter too much which one u go with.

skel · 11-28-2007, 12:56 PM

for the most part a short shifter is a short shifter. If you want to
do cable/shifter bushings then I would go tmw because of tv package
price.

mako8 · 11-28-2007, 01:17 PM

i got the whole twm package and the cable bushings make a difference. i love the ss as well.

GlxyGry06Si · 11-28-2007, 01:23 PM

i have the comptech. i love it.

What all does this package come with? The website has so many options and I have no idea what to get. Any advice. I rather get the best now than regret it later.

NIGHTHAWKSI · 11-28-2007, 04:17 PM

^the whole package comes with the short shift, base bushing, and shifter cable bushing.

also, they just about always have a coupon code for their products. let me see if i can find one.
EDIT: this should help http://www.twmperformance.com/shorts...rtshifters.htm

$117.90 - $10.00 + shipping

What does the cable and base bushings do? Is there a thread that explains what it all does? I'm a noob

ezcivic type r · 11-28-2007, 04:52 PM

Ok, this might be a noob question, but will the Comptech SS fit on the Mugen Si? I know the mugen si already has a short shifter but i think its the whole shifter unit. The comptech is just a small piece to fit in that unit right? I'm confused, someone educate me.

shifter= better shifter feel
base= imo nothing

the ss is just a small clip on piece.

mako8 · 11-28-2007, 05:02 PM

i have them and i'm not sure if the base bushings do much (as i added it only shortly after getting the car), but i definitly feel like the cable bushings give it a more solid shifting feel. i have a cai and the cable bushings make the engine bay look a bit nicer imo.

it's also pretty surprising what that little ss adapter piece will do as an improvement. i love this mod.
