Honda Short Shifters - one style only?

[SINISTR]

Im thinking about installing a short shifter into my CRX sometime down the line of modifications.

What I am wandering tho - are straight short shifters - the only shifters available for a Honda Civic/CRX? or is there a company that makes them with different profiles - as an example a dog leg one to have the shifter closer to the driver?

hey mike
i have a short shifter, looks like the first one in the top picture,
bought it about 4 years ago and no problems watsoever,
i think the difference is very minimal between that and the factory bend one though, unless you have short arms.

but it would make the 3/5 gear closer to the driver wouldn't it?

just a convenience thing i guess...

I have a B&M shifter in my EG and my only complaint was that it didn't have the little bend in it at the top. As a result the shifter sat a bit too far forward (and meant you had to reach forward a bit extra for ALL gears (quite annoying/uncomfortable)


My only concern was the fact that the B&M shifter does not have a bend in the shifter which keeps the gearknob sitting closer to the driver. With the new B&M shifter, the gearknob now sits a bit too far forward for my liking.
