Dont have one personally, but ive heard they are ok. Theyre are much better ones for a lil extra money. Not the best...but close to bad.

For what you can get B&Ms for go for the the better. B&M.

I run the B&M and it has sold many a shifter for me.

People try it and sell theirs to get it.

stanbo is right, b&m may be twice the price, but they are so worth it. the obx is better than stock, however nowhere near as good as b&m, it's just unholy. They are on sale for 200 now too, $50 off.

Check out this write-up with pics of a short shifter install. I'm having a pain in the rear end installing mine in my crx.

Installing in an RWD is so much easier than an FWD... on my old 200SX SE-R I had to crawl under, drop the exhaust, etc. such a pain in the rear, like Doc said.

In my S14, I installed my short shifter while sipping on some orange juice.

thats good to know, it took two of us to do mine in my old integra, they have some jacked up bolts you have to hold with pliers from the top while the guy on the bottom undoes the nut, it was a total ***** to do

be careful not to drop anything in the hole when you remove the stock shifter... it won't fall to the ground like on FWDs

I haven't installed the short shifter yet, It's on my to do list, which first involves painting the bondo, and installing a new temp gauge.
email me and we'll chat!
