Okay, so Im at work and bored. Anyway....I got to looking around and doing some investigating on the weighted shift *****. I figured I was getting the STS, might as well look at a ****. But what are the benefits of a weighted shift ****? does it just help with the throw? Ive been looking online for one to work with our 6spds, but I cant seem to find one because of that damn reverse lockout!


comments?.........

 

The heavier shift **** does definitely help getting the car into and out of gear. I use a Greddy counterweight shift **** and I love it. I know Skunk2 released their weighted shift **** for the 6 spd Acura/Hondas and that one is heavier than mine..

 

so do they have one thats compatable with the 6spds w/reverse lockout?

 

i made one for my car, i just bought one that has the led's inside and took them out and put a weight in. i used soem wierd metal thats super heavy, it made shifting easier with my short throw. deffently recommend it!

 

well, im not too technical, so I was hoping that someone knew of a place to get one.....


ill keep waiting....

 

my shift **** is nokya, its got a nice feel and def alot heavier than stock. i got it at a local spot i go to for most of my aftermarket needs.

 

Hopefully you all won't have the same problem I had. I used to have a nice heavy shift **** on my STS but after a couple years the bushings in the shift links wore a little and loosened up. I ended up with a slight rattle. So I put the stock shift **** back on and problem solved. Must've been some sort of weird harmonic since you would think adding weight would've dampened the system, but it ended up the other way around.

 

Okay, my next question is....do they make anything to add weight to an aftermarket shift ****? Or...is there a certain item you can buy and add to the inside of the **** from like home depot or something?

thanx

 

The Skunk2 is 440 Grams which is 15.5 oz and the Greddy is 13.5 oz so the difference is very slight and probably won't make a difference, not to mention the Skunk2 is horribly ugly.

 

yes, the skunk2 is hideous!

 

course, the Greddy ones are ricey......

 

How do you figure?

 

I should get a heavier shift **** for my sts, but there aren't any good lookin ones out there...

 

cause all the little civics I know around town have them, so that qualifies. And it just has that "As Seen in the Fast and Furious!" look to them. Blah!
