Spoon/Mugen quick shifter installed!

**curik** · 14-04-2007 08:10 PM

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.

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.

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

Mugen OWNED

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.

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

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..

**curik** · 17-04-2007 04:30 PM

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** · 17-04-2007 04:36 PM

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..

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...
