Forbidden Motorsports Short Shifter - Tuner-Junction

street_accord94 · #1 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2006, 03:22 AM

I just got back in from installing and testing my new forbidden shifter in the accord, and figured I'd share my thoughts with the f/h motor crowd. The shifter itself if very sturdy with tig welds at each joint; physically the shifter is .5" shorter than the stock prelude lever which makes for very comfortable positioning, especially after using the milk truck derived accord lever for so long

The shifter has 3 different positions for connecting the shifter cable, with the middle hole being identical to the C's shifter, and the top hole (shortest shift) offering a 40% reduction in throw (with a little trimming to the underside of the boot mount trim). Right now I'm on the middle hole, and have found my shifts to not only be shorter but also more precise...there's no more balky feeling, but instead a very positive shift. All in all very pleased with it, it's just ashame the bronze powdercoating is hidden under the stock boot and knob

at least its not purple

I remember back in the day when anodized stuff was crazy the purple garbage was always so much cheaper since no one wanted that fruity crap
