Default Recommended Short-Throw Shifters?

There's tons of them out there, and I haven't seen anybody with one who has a 6th generation Accord.

Anybody have a company to recommend? Or are they largely all the same?

yeah i was thinkin about cutting mine too... i have one of those generic ebay ss adapters and the ppl ripped me off on shippin and then gave me a hard time about payment (saying i did not pay even tho i paid 5 minutes after auction ended) it also scrapes the inner plastic, but i heard they,dc sport/neuspeed, all do.

I have seen a guy swap int the shifter from a Lude. He said it went in w/o any problem and it is like 1-2" shorter. I would like to cut mine down but then I would have to get a new shift handle thingie cause my Type-R screws in.

you cut it where its already welded... where the tube-like part meets the "base"... then cut the bottom of the tube-like part down your desired length, and re-weld it... you cant cut the top because the shift arm is hollow and it has a bend in it... you'll never get another shift knob on there, especially if you re-thread it.
