realisticly not many enjoy day to day use of a short shifter, they tend to make gear changes more clunky and shifting becomes more difficult as they theororetical gains by reduced throw are lost by needing to put more force into the change because of the shorter fulcrum and there for loss of mechanical advantage.
i know exactly what you mean. ordinarily i wouldnt consider something so nasty but theres not much to go wrong with something so simple.

i shouldve mentioned, im going to get a taller shift knob (mugen) and maybe a shift extension (2"?).
plus its 5mins work to change.
are these short shifter simply just shorten the gear stick like the picture below?
if the distance between the ball joint to the bottom is the same, the short shifter only shorten the throw by reducing the length of the stick, and you gonna add a 2" extender will defend the purpose.
get a proper short shifter which lengthen the distance between the ball joint to the bottom where the gear linkage attach to
connorling, your profile and evidenced by your post tells me alot about what type of feral you are..... all class 'hay'!!!! ps. not your m8....
thanks but im asking about a product not the philosophy behind short shifters
i understand how and why a short throw shifter would and wouldnt work. just asking about cheap ebay ones because i feel the honda community is synonimous with cheap/nasty.
otherwise the skunk2 one looks good but is 3x the price.

someone correct me i im wrong, but i read somewhere they can stuff up your synchros? purely because it effects the way the gears engage.. not necassarily an ebay one, but short shifters in general?
that being said, i have one in my pulsar and its probably the best mod ive done (besides a t28 :P) it gives the car a nice raw, sporty feeling!
