Short shifter for a 99?

Where can I get a short shifter for a 1999?

I tried eBay for CL short shifter- got nothing.
I searched even for accord short shifters, but all I saw were some wierd "adapter" looking blocks of machined metal, that did not include the shift lever.

Thanks


Brand new owner.. just got my 99 5-speed last week.
I've got a lot already purchased, and about to spend next two weeks on installs. my car's here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2360029/

I'm not sure if it'll fit the 99, but I just installed a Forbidden Motorsports short shifter in my 97 this weekend. I used Klepto's DIY prelude shifter intructions, but I found that I didn't have to do steps 10, 11, or 15. The FM short shifter doesn't even come close to hitting the metal "bump stop" tabs that the prelude shifter hits.

fuken working sucks. thats all i can say.... and i have my cl to where i like with no problems so dont really need to hit up the forum.

the turbo is being postponed.

oh any of you with sportlines and agx's set at the softest settings 1 + 1???
thats what i set mine to, still corners ok, but rides so smooth.
well worth the trade off for me. speed bumps? what speed bumps.

My other car is a 96 Accord and i got a short shifter from Forbidden Motorsports. I was told that this is one of the best. It has a 3 height adjustment. I rocked mine on the second and it was perfect for me. The throw was much, much better. Got mine in gunmetal for 100. Mod was well worth it on the accord.

Here's a pic. The shifter is chunky as hell, no flimspy piece of shit like those adaptors.



Don't have any pics of it on my accord but the website's got some good ones
