Default short shifter on a 96 ex
would installing a short shifter make a pretty big difference on a 96 civic ex? how much does it usually cost to install and would it fit the stock shift boot?

Yes, it makes a considerable difference in shifting throw, and it doesn't cost anything to install it if you diy. and yes, it fits the stock boot. what brand were you thinking of?

+1 ^

yes, it makes shifting much quicker and more fun. I also recommend polyurethane shift bushings. They're cheap, easy to install when you're down there messing with your linkage. They make a big diffrence too.

Yes. I have a double bend in my civic, they're great if you're looking to decrease shifting time. good luck!

it's not to difficult to change, makes a difference. I changed out mine for less than $50. Also good mod to do while changing the exhaust, because the mid pipe is in the way.

all you have to do is remove the midpipe rubber hanger, you don't have to remove the exhaust, that's just crazy.

Sometimes the new shifter hits the exhaust a bit, but all you have to do is buy a longer rubber hanger and your set

no, just remove the shifter heat shield by removing the four bolts, or just notch the area out that the shifter is hitting it.
