Default short shifters

I really want one, but not sure what to get. I have no upgrades and don't plan on doing anything substantial to the car (99 civic sedan with a y7). i've looked around, and it seems like one of these should be fine...

correct me if i'm wrong, but the dual bend just sits farther back right? Anything else i should be aware of?

Here is a link to the best price I have seen on the B&M shifter http://www.modacar.com/bolt-on/produ...6427-5062.html. Yes, the dual bend will make it sit more like a stock shifter. Here is a link to the post were I asked about the same subject https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=78211. The best advise I can give you is to replace the bushings at the same time http://www.modacar.com/bolt-on/produ...7774-4964.html

Dual bends seem to generally have a slightly shorter throw than their single bend counterparts of the same brand.

i was looking at that one, but the skunk2 is twice as much.....I'm willing to pay that, but do you think i'd be able to tell a difference between quality, etc.?

Does it really matter that much which i choose as long as it's brand name?

I'd say most brands are pretty similar. Ive had an ebay on that came on a car, and a Skunk2 duel bend. Both felt almost the same with Skunk2 being slightly smoother and felt a little better made.

Hey superfly, if you are interested, I'll sell you my Skunk2 single bend shifter. I have the weighted shift **** as well, but I'm thinking about keeping that.

Send me a PM if you are interested.
