Anybody know of any short-throw shifters made for the 1st gen CL? I have a '98 2.3CL manual, and shifting takes too way too long. Any help here?

I have a short shift adapter from B&M. Same thing as the DC sports one. It for the 94-97 accord. Makes the shift shorter and notchier.

 

so what's the installation like with a short shift adapter?

2.2CL Prem 5 spd - Frost White / Quartz Leather + Shifter, Tint, PIAAs, K&N

 

Installation is pretty simple. Getting to the stick is a bit of a hassle. You have to take out the armrest first, than the center consol. Once this is done you get to the stick. The B&M and DC kit are just a shift adaptor, not a replacement for the whole shift linkage. Well anyhow, there are directions on how to install. Basically you just have to unscrew, stick the adaptor on and screw it back. Simple.... once you get to it.

 

what do you mean when you say "notchier"?

------------------
'98 2.3CL w/Type-R Air Dam and bright lights and stuff. I dont know what else, it came like that.

 

It means means that the shift will be more solid in a way. Kinda clicks in instead of just sliding in.

 

How much shorter are the shifts? Shifting my CL feels like rowing a boat compared to my 2.5RS, with or without short shifter.

 

The shifts are significantly shorter. You will definately like it. However it feel alot better when you get a shift knob that sits lower that your stock nob.

Yeah... no more rowing the boat... I like how you put it.... never thought of it like that
