PSPEC is apparently out of short shifters for our car and I finally have the money to buy one!

so right now i'm either going to stick it out until they make more or go for OBX or DC sports. Gimmie your feedback on those and i already tried the damn search for them but nobody really says anything worthwhile about either so tell me if you got it. Otherwise i'm coming for your firstborn...j/k, but seriously, talk to me

man you better just wait for it cause the height is dramatically reduced and the other DC and OBX jsut shorten the throw and the quality of the pspec is just better

KC CL 1785

is this an adapter or an actual short throw shifter

nicholbr

DC and OBX are adapters

PSPEC = true

TeamBlurryCL

i have one, i works pretty well. it doesn't feel like your going to break it like other adapters. i'm peicing out my car but i thinking about selling my car with it. . . .for the right price i'll take it off my car.

wait for the pspec

$45 for a 4th gen prelude shifter.

a real shortshifter.

suprheero

can u use the prelude shifter with an adapter as well?

ju5tchi11in

you can use the prelude shifter... and get a prelude short shift adapter too... so you got twice the shortening... figuratively speaking.

suprheero

i have the prelude adapter and im waiting on my prelude shifter, but i like the pspec and am wondering if the prelude parts would work as well as the pspec?

You can always buy a short shift adapter (I have an OBX) and then cut down your OEM shifter. Some guy on the Accord boards did it, and it didn't look difficult, if you have the tools. Go to http://www.filtsai.com/accord/cut_shifter/index.php

will cutiing down plus the adapter work as well a true shifter? or will that just be cutting corners and saving a few bucks, i would rather spend the cash, but if it will be just as effective then what the hell.

#1: P-spec= true shortshifter- lowers height, shortens throw significantly (so I am told), and shifts smoothly like stock shifter, costly total of ~$170

#2: Prelude shifter(4th gen/92-96 Si or Vtec)+ Prelude short shift adapter= "true" shortshifter- lowers height approx. 2", shortens throw significantly, shifts less smoothly than stock shifter i.e. notchy like an adapter, total cost ~$45+what kind of adapter you buy.

#3: Prelude shifter(4th gen/92-96 Si or Vtec)= "true" shortshifter- lowers height approx. 2", shortens throw a good amount, shifts smooth as stock shifter, total cost ~$45.

#4: Cut shifter+ adapter= might as well get a prelude shifter and adapter. Notchy shifts due to the adapter, shift throw will be longer than prelude plus adapter even though height is lowered, total cost ~$?? (not sure)

cant really cut it much cause it gets fat and hollow past the threaded part

i bought the DC sport short shifter adapter for a 94-97 accord...i took my 97 CL to a performance shop to get it installed and they said it would not fit is this true? somthing about haveing to link another adapter or something????

Low97CL

any help would be appriciated

klepto

tell them to stfu and install it for you, it should fit. Rather, just instal it yourself, its not that hard, theres directions on pspecs site

shineynitelite

mine was 11$$ works like a charm!!

Low97CL

sorry....newb here.....so it should fit with no modification...if anyone has any pics of how its supposed to be attached to the clutch cable and how its supposed to look on the shifter i would really appriciate it thanx.....

Man I dont know how a company can claim that the shifter(not adapter) can make is smoother shifting. ITs all your gearbox. Adapter, shifter, watever. Its all the same smoothness. As for the adapter, its only cutting down %35. If u want more. Go down the prelude path. Save ur money!!!

iTrader: (1)

do u buy the prelude short shifter or regular shifter??

the short shifter adapter

CL Platano

I heard you can use prelude short shifter. My boy just installed a short shifter for a prelude on a 95 Accord, he said it was pretty easy.

klepto

the directions are on pspecs site, im about to install my prelude shifter next time i go home, i'll post up some pics

shineynitelite

what do you neeed that for.. your cars all show no go i thought.. having a long shifter is the ugliest thing you could do to a interior.. IMO
