im looking at the short shift kit made by forbidden motorsports and the answers im looking for arent on forbiddens website. for the forbidden SS owners:

1: does it come with a shift knob. either way idc. because im getting a BLOX racing shift knob. found a very good price on it.

2: does it come with a shift boot. cuz my shift boot is getting all ratty. and im tired of putting different shift knobs on my car and then the shift boot just hangs there.

 

It doesn't come with either of those. It is a great product though, I definately recommend it.

 

did you use your stock boot and knob?

 

I did because I wanted a stock look. Get it, the shifter is great and not too expensive.

 

off topic, i know, but...

get the 88-91 hatch. my friend has one and (despite being slow) its a really fun car. what color/year/trim?

 

me and my friend are starting a civic project and those are the models we want.

yea there slow at first but have tons of potential of course. we really dont care what color model or trim cuz were gonna rebuild it from the ground up. but i would prefer a bubble though over the hatch.

 

Ya I used the stock boot and knob. I like the look and feel of the stock

 

are you gonna stick with the d-series engine or swap? and why bubble over hatch? arent hatches lighter?

and thats kickass. i've always wanted to do soemthing like that but my only car friend is the guy with the civic and he's always with his girlfriend so i rarely see him.

 

I have the stock boot if your interested.

 

thanks but i hate that boot. i wanna get a boot that works with an aftermarket shift knob.

 

I know its an old post, but I'm using the search feature! . Was wondering what shifter do we get for our car (98 CL 2.3L), I'm guessing the92-96 Honda Prelude one since thats the shifter your rob in the DIY. Any additional parts needed? Thanks in advance

 

or the PSPEC shifter

 

Thx

 

i have the forbidden. very easy to intall. and im using the stock boot with a greddy weighted shift knob

 

those greddy knobs are heavier than baseballs. i think they're even heavier than my blox knob.

 

hell yeah "guaranteed shift" haha. i dropped it once. the little fcker bounced on the cement!

 

Better that than your foot, those things are beefy

 

for a stock 97 2.2 i do i grab the 94-97 accord? how about thoes short shifter adapters?

 

idk i havent heard of anyone using the adapters.

 

I've been looking at the adapter too, I think replacing the whole things will give smother shifts from what I read. I think for my 98 I am going to grab the prelude one, seems like the best bet since its a prelude shifter we grab to swap (which I can not find unfortunately in my area). Lemme know if you get the adapter and how it works out.

 

Get a prelude short shifter and call it a day, don't bother with the adapters

 

Yah, I live in a small Canadian town, wrecked preludes within 100 KM from here so I must look at other options, unless you wana find and ship me one
