Thanks to Doug and rjb23 for experimenting with other short shifters (Doug-EVO and rjb23-7th gen). I recieved mine (7th gen about $45 on ebay) and installed. It took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. I downloaded the instructions from TWMs website and read the ones in the how to articles.
I have to say the throw is much much shorter and about 1-2 inches lower than stock. My finger are kinda close to the dash but I think it is because I only used 2 of the 4 spacers (the back 2) plus I have big hands. I will put some pics up when I put the other 2 spacers in. Bottom line, this this rocks - great mod for $45. This post has been edited by Batman722: Mar 29, 2005 - 12:24 AM -------------------- |

QUOTE(Sev408 @ Jul 28, 2005 - 6:54 AM) still seems to me that the 6th gen TWM shifter is shorter then your "custom" hack job. 7th gens have longer shifters and need more room so overall you want short shifter buy tthe right one for the car. What "custom" hack job are you talking about ? The shifters are virtually the same. I have tried shifting with the TWM and compared it to my 7th gen, and the 7th gen actually had a shorter throw. Ask Art (lagos), he agrees. Have you tried them both side by side ? I have. that's like saying your antenna is a hack job, get one made for your car not made for a Honda. You dig what I am saying ? -------------------- |
