After a gruesome 5hr. UUC short shifter install on my neighbor's m3, i've decided that its time the lude got one. So far i know of three: Pure Racing, DC Sports, and Neuspeed. Is there one i should be gravitating towards more? Do they all have the same reduction? I was looking around and i heard the neuspeed is about 20% and the DC sports is somewhere between 30-50%(heard all different answers) Looking for guidance here!
The prelude short shifters are adapters that raise the cable level on the shifter, thus shortening the throw. It takes 10-15min max to install the adapter. I have the neuspeed one and it works great...but remember to file down the boot frame to leave some clearance for the new height of the cable.
The feel and reduction is significant...the throw is shorter and a bit stiffer, but i like the stiffer feel. most of the filing will be done on the right side/ top corner of the boot frame, the instructions from neuspeed will tell you where.
i am very unhappy with my DC Sports adapter. It made the shifting notchy, and it doesn;t feel like it helped at all. I never missed a shift until i got the kit. I'm taking it out as soon as i get off my lazy arse and do it. wanna buy a DC Sports adapter?
I'm using the Pure kit and it lets you set it in 5 different places. Three with the center console in place and 2 without it (racing throws) I use the street throw with the center console on the most aggresive of the three options. When I got it there was a lot of rubbing especially in 5th gear so I just ground off everything but the hole I needed and it's worked perfect ever since. I also used to have an occasional grind from the 1-->2 shift but that's been non-existent ever since the kit.
Ok i definately want the Pure short shifter kit because of those 5 options! So wait you can't use two of them with the console on at all??? Anyone know where i can pick one of these up? I don't believe they are manufactured anymore but i could be wrong.

Yeah two of the options are called "race" options and the throw is much more but the cable sits so high you can't use your center console. As for getting one...somone was selling one on the Forsale pages not too long ago...either that or ebay. I don't know what ever happened to Allen he's the one that was making them.
i agree about the DC. it sucks. i'm taking mine off when i get the chance.
the throw is shorter, but it's really stiff and no amount of grinding away at the boot frame will keep 5th gear from rubbing / pressing against the console.
I made my own short shifter, I saw how my friends DC sport worked and was like " y am i gonna pay 50-80 to raise that cable?" So i consturcted my own little adapter. It felt just like my friends DC shifter, A bit notchy but tolerable. I took it off because i heard that it could be messing up my transmition. My friend had his shifter on for about 15,000 miles and his transmition blew. Not sure if the shifter was the cause but i didn't want to take a chance. Does anyone know for a fact that rasing the cable has no negative effect on the transmition? I don't know how the tranmition works so i don't know if the cable going in at that raised angle hurts the transmition. If anyone has some thoughts please let me know

I don't know about the DC adapter, but the neuspeed one is small and a little filing of the boot frame in the 5th gear/reverse area of the frame relieves all rubbing.
If this is a 4th gen Prelude, I suggest the C's shifter. It is the complete shifter, not just the adapter. if it is a 5th gen then the Pure racing is the way to go.

Yeah i have a 5th gen so i guess the search for the pure racing is on? One more question, joon's post really has me thinking...does the short shifter really make a difference if you can already shift quickly?

Do you know anyone that makes an aftermarket fuel guage? I'm thinking about putting some guages behind the black glass on the right side. However I didn't want to mix aftermarket guages and stock guages. I was looking at the Apex-i EL2 guages since they're blue and will somewhat match the...
