No I just did the short shifter adapter. I was debating on the other stuff but decided to hold off. The stock shifter wasn’t terrible it just didn’t feel good in my hand. I have a shift know that’s similar to the one I put on this in my mustang so it just feels similar
@@planetstang1143 coo man I did all the bushings just did adapter and with new cmc cylinder and slave finally the way i want it All upgrades were Worth it 👌
You are definitely right. Thankfully this shift knob is cheap so tightening it without the lock but won’t do any damage. There is a separate piece inside the shift knob to prevent “over tightening” but you are correct. I did have to tweak the nut a little bit, just didn’t get it on camera!
I enjoy having the sequence sideways anyway😅 people believe me when I say... yeah its weird/hard to get used to shifting like that.... and they go........🤔🤣
I got it and it was so frustrating putting it on, after I felt absolutely no difference but it make the shifting more rough and ragged. Better without it off based off my experience sadly.
Damn man, I’m really sorry to hear that! It could potentially be a quality control issue.... but everyone’s taste is different. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but it’s always great to hear feedback!
Nah they dont do a hole, the video of the dude that had a hole is because he had a 9th gen civic and he installed the 8th gen kit, so it wasnt supposed to fit his car and thats why it made a hole
The adapter is just a small piece that just shortens the throw of the stock shifter. If you get an actual kit you’ll get the benefits of tighter shifts, shorter throws, and less slop. The adapter worked great for me, but it just depends on what you’re looking to get out of it👍🏻
5:48 ... damn it bro my linkage is not like yours... like how you were able to just lift the linkage and pop it in and clip the clip... my linkage... the joint socket hole is at 9 oclock..... and not 12 oclock/ strait at the shifter like yours. So I had to TWIST it before I clicked them together... and now the rod has torque on it all the time...... geyyh!
Oh shit! This is actually the first time I’ve ever worked on a Honda or done a part like this. I’m not sure why yours was different. Maybe you had a higher trim level than I did so they used better stuff? Hopefully it all works out!
@@planetstang1143 thanks for the response man! Got her fingered out! I had to go up in the engine bay and flip the tranny linkage once over and that straightened her out in the car!🖖
It’s one of my fav mods I’ve done to my 8th gen.
Did you install base shifter bushing upgrade and cable linkage bushing upgrade, stock shifter is weighted works better too the 3 makes it right

It works on civic 2006 with 5 speed? Have you the link of amazon?
The lock nut is suppose to be turned counter clockwise to tighten on to shift knob

Throws arented shorter...😢

Hopefully I can get the hybrid racing shifter for my car someday! I just got it a few weeks ago and I love these kind of mods!
Congrats man! The mod bug is very addicting (as you can see with the mustang)! I hope everything works out for you👌🏻
How is it a year later? I've heard of different adapters putting a hole in the plastic housing. I bought the same vms but haven't installed it yet.
I actually ended up selling the car to get the truck but the shifter felt great even on the day I sold it!

@@marcoscg930 I've had mine installed since a few days after my comment. No problems with it.
@@marcoscg930 what year civic ?
What’s the different between the adapter and an actual kit ?
Like the buddy club shirt shifter
The adapter is just a small piece that just shortens the throw of the stock shifter. If you get an actual kit you’ll get the benefits of tighter shifts, shorter throws, and less slop. The adapter worked great for me, but it just depends on what you’re looking to get out of it👍🏻
The adapter gives like a 22 percent throw reduction and the buddy is like 30 something percent reduction. Don't quote me on the numbers im freestylin
Does it fit on a 5 speed?
good question
This is a 5 speed in the vid
Yeah it’s a 5 speed!
Tony is it better with or without the short shifter adapter
I think it’s better with the adapter for sure!
is this work even if its not SI ?
I have a 8th gen not SI
Yes, mine was not an Si either!
