hey guys i bought an unknown brand short shifter for my car about 4-5 months ago, still works good in neutral it sits about 180mm away from the top of the ciggi lighter and when in gear it sits roughly 150mm away, so i'm only shifting 30mm from neutral, personally i want it shorter what brand should i go for? i've been looking at B&M and skunk2 any other brands out there you guys recommend?
buddyclub! make sure you get good shifter bushes
I had them (buddyclub) and its a waste of money. Makes the life way harder to shift gears, lots of more crunching, and had the feeling that have this bullshit item could cost me up lots of money.
So I bought DC2R shiftlinkage and shifter. which I believe is the best.
good luck
what's the shifting % difference between stock and buddyclub? or if you've got one and whenever you have the time to could you measure the distance for me :)Quote:

BTW: has anyone used/using B&M short shifters and or buddy club? i'm interested in them!!!
it would help to have those bushings to make smoother gear changes. and like that you shouldnt really fuk up your synchros coz they are known to go when ppl get short shifters coz they slap gears to hard ect
This boy knows it,Quote:

get a dc2r shift linkage (heavier) and also get a weighted gearknob around 400-550g. Awesome shift feel for sure lem haha
Best mod I ever did was going from a short shifter back to OEM.
Honda just don't make syncros as well as say, BMW :D
oooo sounds good order them now if i have money left in my debit account +1Quote:
