short shifter
oka y so i want a short shifter, but i dont know what to buy so explain the difference between these.
if i bought an actualy short shiftrt(if they make them) do i buy it for an accord or prelude?
and a short shifter adaptor, what does that do and whats the diff between a short shifter, like the actual stick and the adaptor and what will they do and last of which of all these will make the throw shorter and the stick smaller?
i saw klepto bought a prelude shitfer. was that just a regular prelude shofter or what?
thanks,
bc

I believe the adapter shortens the actual "stick" while the short shifter itself shortens the throw. This coming from an automatic owner so dont hold me to it.

dc short throw adapter- shortens throw..
prelude shifter - shortens throw and height
custom - 10-15$$ short throw and height
some people do a prelude shifter with a short throw adaptor and that works pretty slick but ou dont really need the adaptor i think that the short throw adaptor is about worthless becuase i think that if your going to do it you should shorten it which makes the interior a lot cleaner and a lot sportier.. tall shifters bte the big one.. anything else?

I recently installed a prelude short shifer in my car. It shortens the height about a good inch and the throws are somewhat shorter. I documented the whole process here http://home.comcast.net/~daklepto/diymisc2.htm

if you're willing to throw the cash down, there's also the 200$ dollar alternative (PSPEC.)
...which I plan on getting. sooner or later.
after my radiator, and steering wheel. assholes.

If that doesn't make any sense (i've been drinking), go to this site http://www.filtsai.com/accord/cut_shifter/index.php this guy has some pretty good DIY instructions.
