I had a 95 Civic 5 years ago. I just bought a 94 last week. So it's been a while since i've looked at parts for these cars. It's eems like every short throw shifter i see on ebay is around $10 or less. I remember when they were $80-$100. I went through 2 of them on my old car. The **** would break off at the threads. Whether it was a name brand, like DC, or a cheapo one from Kragens. So i assume that everyone figured out that no matter who makes it, these things are CHEAP! I just wanna make sure before i buy one that i'm not throwing $20 away. Thanks.

shrug.. i spent 137 on a short shifter from B&M last month

 

B&M is like top of the line tho..i still cant finger out to get one or not, some say it couses tranny problems, some say they dont[:@]..i dont get why the **** would brake off, and DC is a good company[&:]

 

The first one busted off right in my hand. Right where the threads started. I wasn't even shifting hard or anything like that. The second time, same thing. But it happened to the guy i sold the car to. And in the same way. That was the DC shifter. I noticed DC doesn't sell short shifters anymore. I think i paid $120 for that one. Looks like i'll wait it out.

 

when you say top busted off.. you mean just the **** or the actual shifter that attaches to your shift linkage broke in half?

 

OUCH! Mine was $61 shipped through Mobil A/V (shameless site sponsor plug)

 

which one did you get the sport version i can get for 47 bucks.. 46% reduce in throw .. this is probably the one you got.. but the racing version is 54% reduction in throw.. cost over double price

 

I'm reffering to the shifter handle. Where the threads start so you can screw on the shift ****. So i could still shift gears, but couldn't put a new **** on cause there weren't anymore threads.

 

that would really suck

 

get a Skunk2 one. billet steel. I broke 2 aluminum ones, then got the S2 and havent had a problem in years.
