Short Shifter Honda Accord Acura TL Type s TSX 6SPEED Manual 2 4L 3 0L 3 2L 3 5L | eBay

 

It looks just like the ct engineering short shifter. Might just be a cheaper knock off version

 

its the same as the ct one but no name. Shipping from canada is a bitch! i bought the CT one from one of the acura vendor on here

 

shipping is $15 I am about 6.5 hours from Quebec, I actually get items quick from Canada since I am in the New England area ..
The vendor here want $20 for local shipping alone, I asked how heavy is this item and got no reply
I saw the CT was $55 shipped and now its upwards of $80 -$90 and demand is down

 

Just buy the real thing and avoid potential issues...its a PITA to get in there for the job and you'll be pissed if you have to do it twice.

 

I totally agree with you on this one. I just bought the SHifter kit off heel toe last night and im not looking forward to the install. LMAO. I always will go for quality when it comes to parts why do things twice

 

^^

There's a how to here on Azine, look it up

 

I saw that thank you it doesn't look that bad I was just feeling lazy lmao

 

agree with everyone else. buy quality, real parts from the start

it's not that bad of an install if everything is the same in your car as the DIY. BUT...my interior steel parts had some extra tack welds and i couldn't remove certain items so i had to do EVERYTHING inside my car with it all in place, and that was a pain in the ass. hopefully yours doesn't have that haha

 

what was your total cost did u get the bushing and line?
what are you guys using or highly recommended ?
1 - CorSport Short Shifter
2 - Neuspeed Short Shift Adapter
3 - Comptech Short Shifter

Only bushing available? _ corsport bushings

 

Comptech short shifter and Heeltoe hybrid bushings.

Then pick a knob of your choice or stick with the OEM one, whichever you like.

 

I would definitely avoid the knock off and stick with the authentic. I know of some horror stories in regards to shopping on ebay, and have had some bad experiences myself.

 

torque solution makes some also. I have them on my car

 

Link for that?

 

I have this
Honda Accord Shifter Bushing

and this
Torque Solution Shifter Base Bushing Kit: Acura Tsx 2002-08

with the CT short shifter and SKunk2 ~1lb shift knob

 

I have the HT spec shifter kit, bushing, short shifter and knob. I like it but the short shifter seems hooky. I would go with the K-tuned aluminum shift base with adjustable throw, that looks like a real solution.

 

Why is shipping so high .. A USPS priority flat fate box for less than $6 should be an option, they have a 70 lbs limit that is better value for smaller packages..

 

@ $400 I would not be needing that , I am not driving on a level that demand that ..

 

That's a shit electo-plated junk steel Asian market knock off of a proper alloy; I'd stay the hell away from it and go Cor Sport.

 

seriously? it's a solid piece of metal that simply changes the fulcrum point. What are you all expecting the cosmo to do? Melt into goop sitting in your car because its made from 'omg low quality crap metal?" Seriously...this isn't and exhaust that is exposed to the elements, though these 3rd gen $1000 exhausts are a complete other story..

Someone will inevitably claim that the cosmo isn't right and can cause issues..but wait! It's a copy of the CT - it can't be both. It's a generic version of the CT. i.e less overhead and advertising dollars. 50% of the price of everything is attributed to advertising and marketing, so buy the cosmo and save some money.

 

made in the same factory without the over head.

Anyways I got these

10 vs 40 for them. Sure why not its a piece of shaped aluminium

 

It's expensive but I always thought the way the "short shifter" attached to the current TL shifter stick kinda of sucked. The advantaged of the more expensive one is it's more rigid and you can tailor the throw of the shifter to your liking. I spent $500 to get a beefed up shift changed assembly for my Integra and it was worth the money. The shifter spring is so strong that a 2-3 shift is only a matter of pushing the shifter forward. If I wasn't prepping my Integra for AutoX I would get one of the K-tuned shifters for the TL.

As far as buying real or copies I would stick to the real deal (don't flame me) but that's just me. I prefer to support certain company's over others and I do so with my business and money. Would you buy a Hytech Rep or Ebay Mugen parts or the real deal directly from Hytech or King Motorsports?

 

Share!! let me get some lol

 

Understood

 

Who have the best price for CT shifter I saw a $55 shipped deal but i guess that's old ..

 

Guys what kind of a diff do the metal shifter base bushings do? OEM is rubber right? Any noticeable diff on shifts?

 

its very stiff. no flex took 45 mins to install since I have so much wiring running under the center console near the shifter

 

Cool...might skip this one, my shifter feels fine, not lose or shaky at all.

The k shift one would be sweet and looks to give more of a sports car feel, but at $400, idk I just don't see it (for me / my plans).

 

i had ebay bucks to burn, got this, and mdx spacer

 

I order the busing thx again ..
now for the short shifter

 

ebay have the CT shifter for $65 shipped might grab that instead
