sp.

[ghettogeddy]

good luck finding one and if you do let us know were lol i want one too

[turabaka]

I don't really have any pics of my short shifter, but it's a pacesetter. I like it a lot. The ball is threaded up as far as it can go on mine, and it gives very short shifts. A couple of inches, maybe. Bitesize drove my car a couple of times, and he hates it. I'll admit that it takes some getting used to. First day or two is really slow shifting so you don't miss shifts, then once you get the hang of it you can pick up speed again.

Turabaka.. that's the one im looking at getting is the pacesetter, so you say after i get use to it its good? oooh im rdy for payday!!! LOL thanks bro!


anyone else have any pics, or comments?

[turabaka]

oh yeah one more thing. If you want to thread it all the way down, or even most of the way down, in order to get the shortests shifts. You'll need to hammer out the heatshield above the cat a bit. Otherwise it won't fit, or it'll scrape. I hammered mine out, but apparently not well enough because it rubs a bit getting into 5th and reverse.

im not a big fan of short shifters, as long as its thight and true ill bang the crap out of it.

why is that?

[ghettogeddy]

might want to make sure they have them pacesetter no longer makes them

if they do have them i will be buying one for sure

[87roach]

Yea they don't make them anymore, generally a company will offer the and when they are ordered the order will go directly to pacesetter(in this case because our cars aren't really high demand). I think there were some people with modified shifters around here and some people looking to get ones made.. I don't think I have seen anything go through yet though.

[86ccord]

hmm.. i think i will call the website tomorrow and ask them.. and then prolly call pacesetter.. and see whats up..

but doesnt like civic, or prelude fit our cars also? cause i compaired them at a glance and they look pretty close..

[87roach]

Oh also, I remember seeing the pacesetter box that forrest posted a long time ago, the part #'s for the 3g, and the 86-89 teg where the same... however no one makes shifters for either of them =\

well they do still make them..? would the 88 civic be the same? cause i see them for 88-2000 civic.. but forrest did you have one in your car?

[87roach]

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

[forrest89sei]

No I got mine from a member after my car died in hopes of installing it in a future 3G, then i needed money and sold it to hashmansei

at this point no there not made anymore, from what me and labeledsk8er came up with the 86-89 Intergra looks Close but not exact, 4G and up civic doesnt look close at all.

If the crx one is the same I found a DC one online
http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-30339.cfm

[forrest89sei]

What I don't get is for Pacesetter the 84-87 CRX/Civic and 86-89 Accord share the same part number, with DC the Accord and Civic have there own part numbers
and with DC the 84-87 CRX Shifter is the same as the 86-89 Teg one

[86ccord]

that one does look like the one pacesetter makes for our accords..hmm... i may try it if i cant find one for our cars still instock..

but wait a sec. didnt someone say or you said the teg one wont work?

but that is odd.. hmm kinna confusing

[forrest89sei]

but wait a sec. didnt someone say or you said the teg one wont work?

but that is odd.. hmm kinna confusing

Here i'll try to lay it out better:

For Pacesetter:
86-89 Accord/84-87 CRX/84-87 Civic uses Part Number 01-0210
86-89 Integra uses Part Number 01-0110

For DC 86-89 Accord has it's own part number (which i lost someone post it please)
and 84-87 CRX and 86-89 Integra both share Part Number HSA5002

SO... Does this mean that the 86-89 Teg, 84-87 CRX/Civic and 86-89 Accord Shifters are the same? Someone needs to hit up a JY and get a 86-89 Teg Shifter!

[ghettogeddy]

pacesetter no longer makes short shifters for any car
ive called and asked lol

naw i think i paid like 50 bucks for it at the time cuz the member was parting out his car.


short shifter with integra gears....makes a good combo

and zach has a b16 with custom shift linkage....but its worth a try

[A18A]

cant you just chop the gearstick?

[86ccord]

cant you just chop the gearstick?

lol funny...


ok so im going to the JY tomorrow and imma see what i can find and i may take a gear shift out of an accord like ours and see if i can make one..idk.. but then i may see about a teg, and compare ill see..idk..LOL

[turabaka]

I think mine came out of an 89 prelude or something like that.

[86ccord]

alright ill see what i can find.

[mykwikcoupe]

mine looks alot like messyhondas. i took 2 inches off the top and added 1 inch to the bottom. much like turabok says. The shifter doesnt hit the heat shield but the shift rod does rub against it. Ill have to bend it out of the way. The shifter itself is requiring more effort to move but thats probably becuase its rubbing the shield. The linkages are tight becuase I replaced all the bushings, seals and everything. totaal movement is short maybe 2 inches travel at top. Ill post pics of the finished height when I get it all settled and the center console back on.

so you like, straight up made yours?

[MessyHonda]

i think mine might hit when im shifting with load on the engine but not that much.

oh really? hmm i want to find a shortie..

[mykwikcoupe]

yep, or had it made with my specs. I dont weld so I brought it to a buddy of mine and asked him to do it for me. He cut the 2 inches just above where the angle starts so when he welded it back on it gave the best landing and thicker material. He filled in the difference in height and ground it down good too. It looks stock. On the bottom side he cut one of the welds in half and added part of the top to it. Its just bombcan sprayed for now but I think itll last a long time above a heat shield wrapped in rubber seals living in a heated garage.

I didnt get a chance to work on it tonight so probably tomorrow ill see about muscling that heat shield a bit. I think the shifter will just be taller than the console leaving just the threads exposed. Perfect for the rubber style boot or a custom boot. I foound a guy on ebay that makes boots to specs. I sent him my stocker and asked him to lower the top point 2 inches and sew in a round top rather than the stock honda chrome plastic piece. Hopefully it will look better with a aftermarket carbon knob

oh yes ok! thanks i think im going to go to the JY and get me a few shifters and play around with it.. thanks bro! btw do you have a picture of it? please?

[LX-incredible]

You can install any 88-00 civic shifter if you use the civic ball seat 54110-SH3-003 with a couple wraps of electrical tape, 2 of the accord ball seat spacers 54146-SE0-000 below the ball, and 2 accord circlips 94520-45000 at the top. The bottom dust boot 54114-SE0-000 and ball stopper 54119-SE0-000 get reused. The extra ball seat spacer and circlip accommodate for the slightly shorter ball seat. The electrical tape is not really necessary, it just helps to snug it up a bit. Finished product results in much less play than the stock shifter and shorter shifts of course. :D

[stat1K]

and if anyone wants to buy a skunk2 short shifter i have one on ebay for 95 shipped... it's brand new :D

but lx-incredible took a lot of time to figure this out and a lot of searching at the junk yard... he knows what's up.

[newaccorddriver]

my accord came with a DC short shifter, kinda sucks that i havent driven the car yet or tried fixing it since i got my skyline

Hopefully it will look better with a aftermarket carbon knobthe plastic piece can be removed easy, just flip the boot inside out and remove the zip tie, I just made my own boot, i cut up a stock one for a pattern then just sewed up a new one out of leather. all you need is a piece of round aluminum bar with a hole in the middle,you replace the plastic piece with this,then zip tie it under the boot like stock,then flip it right side out, this gives a nice finished end to the boot.

as long as its thight and true ill bang the crap out of it.
