Comptech Short Shifter Review - Page 5

Uncle_Ruckus · 06-15-2008, 11:34 PM

Said what the hell, just bought one...now the damn waiting game begins... I have quick question too, I saw someone on here a while back that had the RAZO RA114A Black leather / red stiched knob with auger suede boot, loved the combo and decided to go with the same. If this short shift kit does not lower the appearance of the knob, how are some people on here doing that? Just by screwing the knob on all the way down?

Reading this tread really makes me want to get the SS, Im weary because of the warranty and the 3rd gear issue. It's hard enough to get the stealership to complete the TSB without any mods.

Will adding the short shift void the warranty?

it will likely cause you issues if you came into the dealership with a SS complaining of a 3rd gear issue or anythign else gearbox related - they would blame the SS and tell you to get on your way

so, no, its not very warranty friendly, no mod is

I just received my SS kit tonight, installed it, went for a drive....and all I can say is it was worth the 100 bucks without a doubt. My civic now shifts effortlessly, and is effing great to bang through the gears now. Long and short (no pun intended) it feels like a real Honda now.

So, what about the TWM short shifter? I see that you can buy it with a new pivot cup preinstalled (in case you screw up your old one, I guess...or just to avoid the frustration.) Anyone have one of these? Seems to be functionally the same. $92.90 after adding the pivot and shipping.

Just got my Comptech SS in the mail a couple days ago

Got it installed and all I can say is it's amazing! The shifts feel so much shorter and way more crisp! And the third gear issue is practically no longer in existence.
