I've been reading the forum for a while now and was under the impression there were no short shifters made for our car....I have seen many members make a custom short shifter by cutting and welding but i didnt want to go that route....My friend keeps suggesting that i get one and i keep telling him they dont make one for our car until he came and showed me this....does anyone know of this one and if it will work....if no one knows i might make myself a guinea pig and try it out...

Link doesn't work, but a search here in the 2G CL forum turns up 37 threads for NEUSPEED short shifter....

 

That's just an adapter, not a true short shifter. Who else has cut theirs and rewelded it?

 

well i dunno how many people have cut and welded their shift knob...but i read one thread so far....gotta look for it....

but your saying....nopi is lying and thats just an adapter not a actual neuspeed short shifter as their title displays....and if so...how does it help or adapt to help making shifts shorter???

plus has anyone tried it before...?

will do search...

 

found...ok...it was you htown who made welded short shifter....did you also use that neuspeed adapter...dont see it in the pics...

 

I've had the NS adapter in 2 6MT CL's. It makes a slight difference, but nothing that dramatic.
Cutting & welding the stock shaft is the only way to make it really shorter, but I don't feel the need to do all that. Throws are short stock, the NS adapter makes them shorter & a shorter knob will give it even more or a shorter feel.

 

Get the NS adapter and a shorter knob and the shifter height is about perfect. The NS adapter makes the shifts more "knotchy" but the distance the shifter travels from front to rear is reduced.

 

cool...i have the tsx knob on now...so i might go ahead and get that adapter.....thanks for the input.....also....which option did most use with the shift knob change....zip tie or washer then zip tie???

I have the zip tie on now but it just doesnt look so nice....maybe the washer looks better...pics would help too...

 

You have to be creative. Methods vary. There's no 1 way to do it.

 

Well i dont mind too much but i wanted the shift boot to look a little more natural...so now i have it zip tied to the nut that helps you align your shift pattern but the boot looks all jacked...I see it in other's pics and i dunno just looks too hood for me....might have to change it up a bit...experiment....will take pics and let yall comment...
