Hey fellaz,

I thought I was ordering this:
http://www.prostreetonline.com/parts...short_shifter/ which I had asked about in a previous post for opinions. I went ahead with the order and I received this:
http://jmdracing.com/store/brand_det...PageNum=1&ID=1

I thought they sent me the wrong part so I called them up and the guy told me the picture on the original link is incorrect. He says the short shift adapter is what I am looking for and that many people have had success with it.

Has anyone here ordered the same adapter? Will it fit on my 1997 Acura CL 2.2? or should I return it asap.

Any advice or recommondations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you got gyped, the first link is to a whole new shifter piece. The second link is just an adapter. I dont think you'll be able to use a prelude adapter, you'll need one for the accord. If you were to completely change out the shifter, then you can use one for the prelude because the mounts are pretty much the same.

I would opt for just getting a cheap 92-96 OEM shifter and swapping yours out for that. It's about 2" shorter than stock and has shorter throws, search for my thread about it, i also put up a whole DIY on my site with pics

elnegrox

Yeah, I have your DIY site bookmarked problem is I had a problem finding an OEM prelude shifter to buy

klepto

oh hrmm, well what are you looking for? shorter throws or a shortened (height) shifter?

elnegrox

I'm just looking for a shorter shifter, more for looks than anything. I don't really know what throw is or the differences between the two. I like your setup, I'd get an OEM prelude shifter if I could find out, that seems to be the cheapest option. The PSPEC looks attractive but it kinda pricey for what I'm looking for.

klepto

throws is the distance when you shift, you ever shifted say...and s2k shifter? the distance between 1st and 2nd is merely inches compared to our behemoth shifter. If youre just going for looks, id either wait for a prelude shifter to come around (check craigslist or ebay) or you could cut your shifter down like that one guy did. Either way I wouldnt shell out $160 for PSPECS shifter.

That would be shiney.

klepto

^yup, thats him, theres too many ppl on this site. I forget who did what

bkmc24

s2k's are insane, my dad may be getting one and brought it home today and it was sweet! very short shifts, he wants it cuz the guy who had it last worked for honda r&d

bkmc24

ohh and if the adaptor is the one in the bottem right pic, itll fit cuz thats what the one i got looks like, easy instal thanks to klepto

The adapter I received is the one on the bottom left. I haven't seen it yet because I'm still at work but my g/f says it is so I'll take her word for it. bkmc24, can you tell me the exact adapter you bought, like the model number, manufacturer, etc ... maybe I can exchange the one on the bottom left for the one on the bottom right. The guy says the one on the bottom left and the top one are the same adapter just different view. Help me out man!

thats the exact one, it looks like the bottem right one on you site

elnegrox

I'm guessing you bought this one:

SS-01B 94-97 Accord Short Shifter

SS-01B 94-97 Accord Short Shifter
SS-01B AC Autotechnic 94-97 Accord Short Shifter
Product ID: 946

and not the prelude model like I received:

SS-03B 92-97 Prelude Short Shifter

SS-03B 92-97 Prelude Short Shifter
SS-03B AC Autotechnics 92-97 Prelude Short Shifter
Product ID: 945
Price: $35.00

Is that what you bought?

elnegrox

anyone else know if the Autotechnic 94-97 Accord Short Shifter will work with a 97 acura cl 2.2? Anyone have one?

Thanks

bkmc24

the accord one will definately fit and the lude one should fit cuz they came w/f22s sometimes
