DC2 Short Shifter

[lemmm]

hey guys i bought an unknown brand short shifter for my car about 4-5 months ago, still works good in neutral it sits about 180mm away from the top of the ciggi lighter and when in gear it sits roughly 150mm away, so i'm only shifting 30mm from neutral, personally i want it shorter what brand should i go for? i've been looking at B&M and skunk2 any other brands out there you guys recommend?

buddyclub! make sure you get good shifter bushes

I had them (buddyclub) and its a waste of money. Makes the life way harder to shift gears, lots of more crunching, and had the feeling that have this bullshit item could cost me up lots of money.

So I bought DC2R shiftlinkage and shifter. which I believe is the best.

good luck

what's the shifting % difference between stock and buddyclub? or if you've got one and whenever you have the time to could you measure the distance for me :)

ive had it for ages, but neva been installed coz i cbf lol if done properly it shouldnt be making life hard. ive heard it makes the throw very smooth and direct.

hmm sounds good, i'll have a read about buddy club short shifters, just haven't heard much about it and what do these shift linkage bushings do? does it just smoothen out the shifting? mine's still very good but when i do upgrade my short shifter i should get some of these too ay?

lol cbf writing up a review barely have anytime to myself! but is there a shifting difference with the dc2r shift linkages? is it shorter? smoother?


BTW: has anyone used/using B&M short shifters and or buddy club? i'm interested in them!!!

it would help to have those bushings to make smoother gear changes. and like that you shouldnt really fuk up your synchros coz they are known to go when ppl get short shifters coz they slap gears to hard ect

This boy knows it,

and yeah it makes gear changing easier, feels smoother

get a dc2r shift linkage (heavier) and also get a weighted gearknob around 400-550g. Awesome shift feel for sure lem haha

Best mod I ever did was going from a short shifter back to OEM.

Honda just don't make syncros as well as say, BMW :D

yeah sounds good should invest in a linkage, i've bought a pretty heavy gear knob as well from auto barn one of those drift ones -.-" but i got it cause it looked oem type r :) shifting feels good. got a spare linkage there with you mike? ;p
