Spoon/Mugen quick shifter installed!

[curik]

Hi, today we installed the Spoon quick shifter I bought from TypeG. Installation was fairly easy if you have the right tools. I was using the comptech shifter for a year and now the improvements I have noticed by installing the Spoon one are:

-Much slicker than comptech.
-Throw is about the same as comptech minus the notchiness.
-Stick is straight unlike the bendy stock, reduces the chance of a mis-shift
-Overall quality is the same as stock, but who cares? you cant see it anyway.

So in conclusion, the feeling is now similar to stock while being much shorter in throw, and the gearknob is sitting much lower than stock. Sorry I dont have the pictures as I don't have any cameras. But for those using comptech short shifter, you will definetely shift faster with this, and the slickness is just nice. No longer you have to use force to put it in a gear. Very worth the price. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Another thing I noted was the quick shifter does not have any writings at all, no SPOON, MUGEN, or "made in japan" or whatever. Just plain. But I got it inside a mugen box which says Accord Quick Shifter.

Does TypeG sell the short shift(if so how much was it?) or was it just a one off?...........thanks.

[TypeG]

LoL
it is spoon damnit
The guy want his car all mugen so he sells his spoon

I agree that it is a good mod for $250 seriously
the stock one throw is way too LONG and TALL

[TypeG]

lol
Mugen OWNED

[curik]

lol, I wonder why would he get the mugen if they are almost the same. And for knob's sake you even wont be able to tell since you can't see it at all when it's installed.

[cdjhitman]

i have the mugen quick shifter installed and i must say if you have the money its worth the mod, definitely.

[TypeG]

depends how much u pay for that.... someone sell for $400 a whole back which is total NOT worth it =)

[Euro76]

I would love to get that installed. Wait until when I can afford it, right now I'm quite broke :p

[sendok]

lol.. should be a nice one.. btw, its only the shifter without linkage? how's the comptech one anyway? and try to find hasport linkage and that's awesome..

:D

[curik]

its a complete replacement over the stock shifter assembly, whereas the comptech one is simply a tiny extension you have to attach at the end of the shifter linkage.

The comptech one is good as it is only 50US, but you would lose the slickness of your gearbox. I had one before and I must say replacing the whole assembly is much much better.

[sendok]

yes, and i guess replacing the whole assembly will be smooth the change gear. if only the shifter, might have a problem with the gearbox in the long term use..

[ginganggooly]

Have spoon fiddled with the geometry of the shifting mechanism, or just banged in a shorter lever?

Reason I ask is that making the knob sit lower means that the shifter is actually sitting further away from the steering wheel, I like the position of the stock shifter, it's just that the throw is far too long. The comptech one sounds like a good thing to me...

[curik]

you wouldnt call it short at all until you see how SHORT the shifter of a 350Z or RX8 are!

[aaronng]

Comptech's SS felt shorter than Spoon's.

[ginganggooly]

Comptech's SS felt shorter than Spoon's.

shorter in height, or shift throw?

[aaronng]

Shift throw. But it might have been the notchyness that made it feel shorter.

[TypeG]

Comptech's SS felt shorter than Spoon's.

are u joking?
lol
i DUN THINK SO

[Spoon-Accord]

he installed it at my house!! lol yohan

[curik]

haha thanks for the tools kenny! I wouldnt be able to do it quickly without your support. Anyway kitty, the spoon one feels about the same as comptech, but I can assure you, you would pay an extra $200 over comptech to get this kind of slickness.

[E-Gene]

I was warned that the comptech ss would affect the gear synchro. huh?

[ginganggooly]

Shift throw. But it might have been the notchyness that made it feel shorter.

It makes sense to extend the rod below the axis to shorten the shift throw. I'm not to keen on the idea of shortening the height above the axis as it moves the knob further away from the steering wheel...

[EuroAccord13]

When I get to try Aaron's Spoon S/S, I'll see for myself if it's shorter than the Comptech's.....

[curik]

cat, your mods are concealed deliberately? come to the bbq and I wanna see your ride!

[aaronng]

cat, your mods are concealed deliberately? come to the bbq and I wanna see your ride!

Nah, my mods are in my sig. The SS has not arrived yet as I am overseas at the moment. But it'll get shipped over the moment I am back! Yes, and I'll see you at the BBQ. Be warned that what is in my sig is true. Scraped bumpers, bent exhaust (swapped a muffler with someone else, so it is better now) and ground down aero fins. I took the chicken out of hte boot already.

Does anyone know the pert number for the Mugen short Shifter?

[enkay]

Does anyone know the pert number for the Mugen short Shifter?

lol lucky i still got the box =P
its 54000-XKB-K0S0

[Euro1011]

thanks enkay.

[Suntzu]

So its about $250 AUD? Sounds like a good mod. Does it require more force because its a short throw? ie less leverage?

[curik]

Definitely worth the money. Less leverage to get into gears and more positive feedback into gears

[Crapdaz]

Can anyone refer the place to get it for approx $250?

Cheers,

[curik]

I saw jdmyard selling it for $350, i guess thats how much it is

[free2d]

Mugen or Spoon better, nicer feeling?

[aaronng]

Mugen or Spoon better, nicer feeling?

Both are the same, from the same manufacturer. Spoon and Mugen don't make it in house.

Don't need the metal bushings if you have the mugen shortshifter. Feels positive enough. Don't want it notchy.

[ergot]

hi does mugen shortshifter and mugen quick shifter are the same? ive seen the one with the straight shifter not the bend one like the oem. which one is that? can anyone help me here?

[roony]

The mugen SS is straight, no bend. Where have you seen it mentioned as mugen quick shifter, link?

http://tsxcore.blogspot.com.au/2010/03/mugen-short-shifter-how-to.html

[ergot]

ive got a mate who just bought a mugen quick shifter a ssecond hand one, and apparently a short shifter is straight and a quick shifter has bends. is that true? that is according to the seller anyway.

[roony]

i have not seen any product like that by mugen for the cl9, just the short shifter version. Im sure it doesnt exit. He didnt get conned by being sold an oem shifter now did he?
