I was wondering if I would be able to use a shifter from a 97-02 prelude to do the mod? I can get a 97 one very easily... I've been looking for one from an older lude but the junkyards around here don't have any. Also wondering if the shifter from a 97-02 lude is shorter or longer than the one for the older lude? Would it make a diffference compared to the broom stick we have in our CL's??

thanks for the help guys

92-96 prelude..

Ive done this mod, its worth it..

 

I know I can use the 92-96 lude shifter (which I can't find in a junkyard),.. I wanted to know if I could use one from a 97-02 lude,. they have one in the yard... anyone?? thanks for replying btw

 

Does anyone have an idea if it will work with a 97-02 prelude shifter??

 

Honestly, i wouldnt try. in life i try learn to from other pple mistakes... but if u insist, GO FOR IT!

 

quick question, will the pspec shifter i have now work on the h22 tranny?

 

i dont think the 5th gen lude shifter would work. Its a pain in the ASS to rip all that crap out. so I'd rather wait for a 4th gen one.

 

Can I purchase a prelude stock shifter with a short shift adapter or is it going to be way too short?

 

it'll be fine

 

How about a shifter from a 1990 prelude?????

 

i'd stick with 92-95, can't be too hard to find

 

I found a 90 for 35 bucks, thats why I was asking.

 

lol i thought that was a joke at frist. im sure theres a way. but is the shifter from that Gen prelude even shorter???

 

LOL... Again, this is the whole reason I was asking.

 

i know nothing about 3rd Gen preludes, sorry.

but my best friend just but a 2001 (electron blue pearl) Prelude Type-SH yesterday. and the shifter on that car is ill. i would def. try to do that mod if its possible.

 

I just didnt want to drop the 220 on the pspec. When the prelude shifter is ultimately the same thing.

 

well idk, but honda-tech.com will surely have an answer for you.

 

Suite....Thanks... Ill wonder over there.

 

ok... why are people putting in prelude shifters anyway??? what the difference between those and our stock ones... i see none

 

u drove my car n u didnt notice it?

 

nope! the only difference i felt was ur shift KNOB

 

ur whack..

 

shorter and the throws are shorter

..at least i think they are

 

yea its like 2" shorter, and 30% shorter throw..

 

there's ur answer

 

hmmm... i like the short throw, but at stock height....

 

u like the stock height?

 

if anything i like the stock throw shortened height.

 

its like shifting a big rig with the stock shifter

 

ya man... cause i just lean on my center console and shift wit a flick of the wrist

 

THats cause ur a smaller dude.. its all preference. i have these hairy palmed big hands and big forearms so shorter throw and shorter hieght is good for me..

If u want to shorten the throw ONLY, get the adapter off of ebay..

 

well how small are you?

 

5'7

 

5'7 120 lbs, hes what you call 'instant weight reduction mod'

 

im that exact same height and the prelude shifter is perfect for me..

 

 

im 130.... only 10lbs more but... it makes a difference in looks.

 

i guess i like to cruise my car alot then... plus i dont like that saggy look of the shift boot when the shifter is lower

 

haha gayanese represent!

 

remember guys, just because the shifter itself is a few inches shorter doesn't mean your throw is any shorter... just a thought
