hey guys just wondering what everyones opinion is on short throw shifters and i was also wondering if they are hard on a transmission. Also does the stock shifter wear a certain pattern in the transmission and wouldn't adding a short throw change that pattern. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

 

Um, wah? The only thing a short shifter does is change where the pivot point is (and possibly length, but usually not). The transmission doesn't even know you have one Don't buy one for $10 since those tend to snap in half. Get one with energy suspension shifter linkage bushings and be a log happied with your car.

 

thanks for the advice i went on and checked out those bushing but they don't have a listing for my year of civic so do u know of any other good bushing kits that i could get that r as good as the ones u first suggested. And also what is a good short throw shifter to get in ur opinion

 

You didn't say what year yours is So what year is it?

 

i have an 04 dx speical edition

 

lol a dx special edition..so is that like a lx or ex ? why would honda even make a special dx..so funny in my opinion..a short shifter makes my dx so much more fun..instead of shifting into gear so far n loosing rpm the short shifter feels like half of that gear wich gives more quicker response and a better pull into my next gear

 

What engine does the car have? Is it the D17a1? It should say on the engine block.
