Short Shifters reviews

[VT3C]

i have been told that dc2 vtir and dc2 type r uses the same shifter, just that the dc2 vti-r one is black whereas the type r 1 is polished..is that true?

Not sure about AUS-spec Type R but the VTi-R / GSi / SiR-G integras use the same non-short shifters and linkages.

The JDM Type R Linkages are much fatter and stiffer than the VTiR versions.. the actual shifter on VTiR teggy (and maybe AUS Type R) is a long straight version (has one bend down low) painted black.. the JDM Type R shifter is an 'S' bend and is tapered (fat at the bottom, thin at the top) CHROME.

I bought mine as a ful set of linkages, shifter and new bushings brand new from Leo at JDM Concept. I think he still can get those sets.. but I thoroughly reccomend it !! some aftermarket short shifters using stock linkages can compromise the actual gear selection and can even lead to damaging your gearset / synchros. the OEM JDM Type R linkages set makes for a PERFECT shift and gear selection with OEM reliability and quality.

I actually have a spare JDM Type R shifter somewhere but I think i loaned it to 'Shmivic'.. i just SMS'd him to ask if he still has it.,.

whats the difference???

I've driven AUDM vtir and AUDM type r.

my dc2r is pretty slick in the shift feel, doubt that the jdm version is different.

what difference do you think there is?

[fatboyz39]

aus and jdm has the same shifter.

Short shifters arnt our thing, just wears out the synros faster , in fact we extended our shifter :P.

thanks, thats what i thought.

there are slight differences between audm and jdm, but not that many....

[Limbo]

not many differences in the dc2r but more in the dc5r

[VT3C]

OK i hate not being able to give a certain answer so I jsut went and checked HONDACAT and the AUS spec appears to be the same as JDM if you go from the diagrams..

cheers!

Im running a C's shifter. Bit pricey compared to the rest but but no complaints here. You get what you pay for. Massively increased shifting feel and response. However it sometimes requires a bit of brutality to get into gear, but im positive that has more to do with my old gearbox fluid.

I have seen an aluminium shifter snap on my mates e30 bmw. Wasn't very fun at all

i had a C shifter. snapped on me. now i got a buddyclub dual bend. very happy with it
