blksnk Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 hi, i need some advise, i want to install a short shifter in a 97 civic but i have no prior experience, can some one please tell me what kind i should get.
cranny Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 not one off ebay for $2. one that fits properly so it makes install easier and driveablility better.

Humphries Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 i have one.. works same as civic si shifter.
adamEj6 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 dude they will all work the same its just quality and strength cause i found one in my friends garage when i used to have a coupe and went to 2nd gear and broke it off
CleanGSR Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 DC Sports Short Shifter is nice in my pops GSR. That's the only one I can reccomend cause I haven't tried any others. SolLes has one that he's pretty pleased with but I'm not sure what the brand is.
SolLesHonda Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I have a DC sports short shifter as well. I love it.
Humphries Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 my brother had this in his 00 SI and he said it did nothing for him because the SI already had a short shifter. and he put back the stock one because he didnt like the chrome on it.
93ZCivic Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 i just have a basic one i got off ebay and it works great for me!! its all the same really (in some cases) with all the other ones ur just paying for the name..
sohcVTEC-E Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I have a DC sports short shifter as well. I love it. +1 DC shifter.
cranny Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 not always just payin for the name , cause as adam said , ive also seen 2 now ebay shifters break off at the threads cause there garbage.
dr5tock Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 i too have a cheap one off ebay because i wanted to try it out before i get a name brand one. so far it works great except it seems a bit harder to shift it into gear. so far so good.

CleanGSR Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I've got a DC Sports short shifter and love it. Much shorter and smoother than stock. Oh, and this thread was kind of dead, but who gives a crap?
CleanGSR Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah, I love it. It made a huge difference in the length of the throw and is still really smooth. Although the urethane bushings are a little stiff on cold mornings.
