the car: 1992 honda accord EX (f22a I-4) w/ 5-speed

has anyone done a short shifter kit for one of these cars? or the engine/tranny combo? im looking to get one and want some advice.

 

probably, if you buy a kit it should include directions.

shifters are usually easy as shit to install, ive put a hurst in my camaro and for the most part imports are easier to get to

ill let an import person chime in though

 

Nissan says:

Easy as pie. Just follow the instructions included. And don't forget to grease the pivot ball sufficiently.

 

ebay short shifters ftw! i got one for my civic and it works fine.

 

noob question: whats so great about a short shifter?

 

If you ask that question you shouldn't bother getting one.

It shortens the throw and/or shortens the height.

 

also have been known to break slamming gears. lol old roomie was pissed. but we all still lold at him

 

it makes your penis look longer

 

i didnt know what it was i never said i wanted one. read the question...

 

honestly, the whole market behind the "short" aspect of a new shifter are retards.

today, idiots (ricers) will praise cheaply made, sloppy shifters as long as they are "short"

in reality, you should look for a shifter that
-yes, will shorten shifts up
-most importantly, give you a better feel for the gears
-be more mechanically stable, and have a better feel

cliff notes: dont judge a shifter solely based on the throw length, feel has much much more value on a good shifter
