[Miz_II_Die_IV]

Hi guys, was jsut browsing thru the Mugen site and found this???

https://online.mugen-power.com/b2c/b2c0104.php?CARID=&PRDID=54000-XKB+-K0S0

Its suppose to be a quicks shifter for the Euro R... or something like that... jsut thought i share this with you guys... my cars not manual so yeah... hehehe....

[Crapdaz]

few guys already have this installed.

[enkay]

haha yep ive got one =D
great mod thou bit on the expensive side lol

[Crapdaz]

well worth it, i will be getting one in the next week or so when i have $$$.

i am so broke.....

[Uzzi]

Is this not the same as the Spoon version? Its meant to be cheaper as well.

[enkay]

yep mugen and spoon both get their SS from same place, its the same design

[Crapdaz]

no matter mugen or spoon both very reputable.

[aaronng]

haha yep ive got one =D

Did you buy the spoon or the mugen one? Mugen is about $100 cheaper. hehehe

[enkay]

ive got the mugen one =D so guess i got the $100 off lol

[curik]

how much?

[aaronng]

how much?

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65648&highlight=euro+mugen+short+shifter

$345

[curik]

mugen $100 cheaper? That means the spoon one is $445!!! You must be kidding me kitty

[hui]

the stock one feels pretty short already, shorter than my dc2R. guess you'll always want to improve on what you already have...

[stephen8512]

i had a spoon short shifter on my euro and aaronng can back it up....the throw was quite short and nice

[Bo0o0ost]

Just to confirm with the short shifter, the shifter itself is the straight cut shifter not the design like the stock one with the bend in the metal? FRIKEN HATE IT!

[curik]

It is a straight shaft with no bend. I like it a lot

[Bo0o0ost]

excellent!
Definately getting one!

[.QD]

Yeah stock seems sporty enough. But the throws still seem long, N -> 1, 1st to 2nd and so on.

If anyone in Syd has one of these installed in their Euro and you wouldnt mind giving me a demo, wouldnt mind trying before I buy. :)

[enkay]

u mean me and u? lol

[aaronng]

u mean me and u? lol

LOL :thumbsup:

[Euro76]

Does short shifter makes acceleration faster? Someone care to explain me please?

[enkay]

lol it just means the time it takes to shift is shorter hence u are faster cos there is less time between the shifts lol in theory anyways

[aaronng]

I like it because you can shift 2-3 and 4-5 fast and confidently with less chance of a misshift.

[hooyn]

unless you're a pro doraiva. DK

fresh

[Crapdaz]

where'd u get yours from and how much?

[Crapdaz]

Kingmotorsport from the US and about $327 depending on exchange rate.

[enkay]

the local traders can get it for u, ask them
support it! haha =P

[Uzzi]

Did you DIY the install or a workshop did it for you?

[enkay]

i DIY its not that hard but time consuming, took me like 2.5 hours i think haha but i was takin my time and 1st time doin it

[Uzzi]

Ahh...kewl....any special tools required?

[aaronng]

Not much difference compared to buying locally from a trader...

that was the idea hahaha
glad u like it

[Crapdaz]

yeh not much cheaper but still it is cheaper, why bother paying extra dollars when you can get same thing for cheaper.


Did you DIY the install or a workshop did it for you?
yeh i did not worth getting workshop for something IMHO simple.

no special tools, just your normal flathead/phillips/ratchet spanner.

took me 2hrs cause i was scared of breaking the console pieces but in the end it was good. Could finish the install in 1-1.5hr. The only pain in the ass was the clip on the Up/Down shaft was bloody tight.

[Uzzi]

So you mean there is no need to jack up the car or anything? Sounds good...mmmm.

[enkay]

nope, its realy easy, onli hard part was the U-clip that he was talkin bout realli hard to get off, at 1st i was too scared to force incase i broke stuff, but by the end i was using a hammer LOL (mine was really really stiff lol and didnt have any plyers)

[Crapdaz]

ROFL,
HAMMER only time i used a hammer was when i had to put the mugen u clip back in cause it'd fit half way then jams up.

But yeh i was scared i'd burr the U clip when prying it out.


So you mean there is no need to jack up the car or anything? Sounds good...mmmm.
Piss easy mod.

BTW only thing is that sometimes i get my finger caught in between the shift knob and handbrake lever when i put into reverse as my shift knob i have is circular in shape.

ENKAY did you end up removing the stock shift knob clip thing?
As i have now after i removed i replaced the assembly.

[aaronng]

No need to jack the car, everything you need to touch is under the gearknob.

[Crapdaz]

did you guys have any problems with the ashtray light not switching on?

Might be the connection which i need to re-adjust or something as it was working before the install.

Hi:
congratulation on your new Short shift.

I just went back to the thread where we had our Comptech short shift installed.

If you scroll down a bit, there is also a photos there showing our team effort. It's good to relive that memory..

[hooyn]

i am going to purchase one of these. this week or next.

is it simply taking off the old part and putting on the new?

does it come with a knob ?

yeh pretty much, most of the stuff you reuse only thing that would be left over is the stock U clip + stock assembly itself, no shift knob imagine if they did have one would be hella expensive.

hope this helps.

[hooyn]

helps heaps thanks crapdaz

what about gearbox. does short shifter have any negative impacts on the gearbox?

your gearbox assembly is replaced, with the shorter mugen one. Pretty much direct bolt on everything is installed within the cabin.
