TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 So I'm treating myself to a B&M short shifter: (http://www.racingworks.com/bm_short_shifter_civic.htm) and a new shift knob too. Since everything in my interior will eventually be black or grey, I want the shift knob to be the one thing that stands out. Here's what I came up with: (eBay Link) or (eBay Link) I guess I'm also open to suggestions, even about the short shifter, though I'm pretty sure that's the one I want, especially at that price. Late edit: If you do suggest something could you please post a picture? One final question, does anyone know if spending the extra 20 bucks for firmer shifter bushings from DSTuning would be worthwhile? Thanks, folks.

TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 That actually wouldn't be so bad if I could powdercoat it white... How much? Still, I do really like the RAZO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 That actually wouldn't be so bad if I could powdercoat it white... How much? Still, I do really like the RAZO... they are 135 new, ill let it go for 75. lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah, that plus powdercoating would mean too much for me right now. And since it's not really a ball and more of a weird shape it's not what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have what I think is a skunk2 shift knob sitting on my dresser. I will try to take a pic of it for you when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 That's a possibility as well. Post up a pic and a price, mang. Bet I could get some white engine enamel and spray it up nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I still think, no matter what, oem is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Its not perfect, you can tell it has been used. It has some scratches and such. Offer however much you think a shiftknob is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well, shift knobs aren't worth much to me (which is why I'm looking on eBay to begin with) so don't get offended if this is low, but I'd say 25 shipped, given its used condition. How's that sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Done then. I will paypal you the money riiiiight now. Before I go and order my short shifter and all, anyone know about the firmer shifter bushing? I'll prolly get it anyway if no one does since honda shifters always vibrate too much but I figure it's good to get input anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Dang it, I just ordered from the link I posted and after that noticed that they do have that exact shifter on dST for cheaper, and that plus the bushings amounts to less than the shifter from the other site. Hopefully I can cancel my order there but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Getting poly bushings for the shifter is good. Stiffened up my shifter a lot and made everything feel more solid. On the other hand, they don't really last all that great IMO. I've needed to replace mine for awhile. I'd say they'd need replacing every 4 years or so.

TS John Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks for the info, Hung. I'm not too worried about replacing it every 4 years since it's cheap enough, especially if it helps stiffen it up nicely. RacingWorks is refunding my money already (great service -- just a bit of expensive shipping) and I'm getting the short shifter and the bushings shipped from dST for $62.

Humphries Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Mfactory has a nice short shifter for 59 dollars. its made from carbon steel instead of the aluminum like most shifters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have polyurethane shifter bushings. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
