Quick Question About Short Shifter

[charlie char]

I have a 1990 cb7 four door LX 5-speed with 87k. Just wondering what kind of short shifter i would need. I've seen the ones with just the different shaped brackets where you dont even have to replace the shift arm. Not sure if i need that or if i am lucky enough to have to get the whole arm and bushings. If anyone could help me out it would awesome. thanks.

theres a shitty adapter you can buy for 80$?

you can do the DIY for a few $$..

or you can buy the forbidden short shifter for i think it was 124$, which is ideal but requires to swap prelude shifter plates or switch your stock ones overtop one another or cut away some of your console.. a few choices depends how lazy and cheap you are :-p

an SSA (short shift adapter) will only shorten the throws of your shifts, and not the height of the lever, thew 4bidden short shifter will do both, but its expensive... if you look in the diy section you'll find a real nice DIY with shortened throws AND shortened height with a max. cost of like 2$ :P

yea i know fiz, i believe in my post i stated that you can either flip the plates or cut your console, if i didnt my mistake and i did know that from talking to you about it

BUY a 92-96 prelude shifter plate and get either a Pspec or forbidden shifter and you can't lose

damn thats alot of different answers. i wish it was just as easy as the arm and bushings, replace from under the car, and thats it.

yea alot of different ways, but use the one best suited to your likeing... IMO I hear alot of good things about the forbidden shifter, so thats what I plan on getting, prob along with a prelude shifter plate to make things fit nice and easy, but do what you want

[i]kinda like wiping your ass......you can just use your hand then wash it later, or you can just use toilet paper the first time....why in the hell wouldn't you just do it the cheapest, easiest and most reliable way initially? [/B]

gotta love toilet paper

I dont get it.. Are you saying we SHOULD be wiping our asses with our hands because it's cheaper than buying toilet paper??

That's a classic analogy, hahaha...

Hahaha, I never quite thought of it that way... Nothing like Fizzbob to give a "fresh" spin on things!
