    i want to do the same. i think Neuspeed makes the only real short shift adapter.
    i hear bad tings about the ebay OBX adapter so i wouldnt recommend.

      you can get an early prelude shifter and use that. I can't really say that it's a "short throw shifter" but it's.. notchier.

        +1 for the prelude shifter. Makes driving the car so much more enjoyable.

          To be specific, you want the shifter from a 92-96 Prelude. It IS a shorter throw and a shorter height than the CB7 shifter.

            They are pretty much identical.


            Shortening the throw of a CB shifter results in notchy shifting, and the lever will hit the side of the shift bucket when pushed into 5th gear. EVERY method of shortening the shift shy of modifying the bucket and the shifter itself will do this.
            I nearly blew my H22 because of the notchiness of my short shifter. I couldn't tell the difference between upshifting from 3 to 4, or slamming it into 2nd from the top of 3rd.

              Short throw shifters tend to be hard on the syncros.

              Just throwing it out there.

                So, would it be beneficial then to do this modification since it may cause problems, or leave well enough alone and just stick with stock?

                  It really all depends on what you want to do, If you are going to race the car, it may very well be beneficial, if not, well again it's up to you.

                    My shifter is stock now. My transmission is damaged. My engine, thankfully, survived a near-10,000RPM jolt.

                    There is no way in hell I'd install a short shifter on my car again. I don't need to shift any faster than I can with the stock shifter.

                      I got my shifter cut and welded. Its not a shorter throw, but feels more comfortable. XD
