Sorry if this is old news to people, I'll delete this if everyones already heard of this.

shortshifter gb thread

I just came across this thread at h-t.com. Seems that this seller is making true short shifters for 4th gen preludes. Apparently they are very similar to the C's short shifter that are around $250(and that's if you can ever find them). He's selling them for around $100 which is a very good price for the item seeing as it's the only affordable true shortshifter on the market for 4th gens. I emailed him about the 4th gen application and hopefully he'll reply with some good news. I guess mabye if the gb for the accords goes well, we might be able to set something up for 4th gen prelude owners. Just wanted to hear what everyone thinks about this...I know I'm excited

hmm yeah someone brought it up before, but i still think it's fairly interesting.. let us know what he says

Wow, those are nice.

Hmmm that looks very interesting... Anyone have one?

I have emailed the guy who is making them. So far the GB is only for 5th gen Preludes and Accords. He will be having a GB on shifters for 4th gen Preludes and Accords shortly.

This is basically the C's shifter for 1/3 the regular price.

i have a jdm Vtec tranny running on cables, will they still work and hook up right?

if you get any more info on this please post it here, i would be willing to jump in on a gb if it is around $100.

red92si · 10-14-2002, 03:27 PM

The guy selling them said he would email me as soon as the buy starts going. So I will post here when I get more info. He did say that the price would be about $100.

cool...

what is the flaw if you dont mind me asking

4bidden · 10-14-2002, 04:39 PM

if you shift hard with it to any gear you will get a grind because it doesnt have the stock stoppers on the front and back that keep you from pulling or pushing it too far forward/backward....know what im talkin about?

Sounds like a great plan! Keep us updated and hopefully we can get a lot of buyers for these things to lower your costs.

im going to look for a shop sometime this week to make a first batch of them. i'll let you guys know

status??

4bidden · 10-16-2002, 05:29 AM

i just emailed a few places asking them how much it would be to produce the shifter. i will let you guys know after they email me back and i get something rolling.

if i do do it, im goin to need someone to send me a stock shifter while i send mine off to the company. ill give that person a discount when they're made or something, lol

slo mo · 10-16-2002, 06:58 AM

If no one has one laying around to give you, I could try to take mine out. My car is parked untill april so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure someone must have an extra stocker laying around though...

Monas · 10-16-2002, 12:51 PM

if you get this up and running make sure you let us know!! i am in if it is around $100 or so

keep us posted

Preyluder · 10-16-2002, 05:26 PM

What's the difference between these and say a Neuspeed Short Shift kit?

ill obviously try to keep pricing as low as i can without sacrificing quiality. i probably wont produce them if cost will be more than $100, so dont worry about that
