Shifter upgrade and/or short shifter advice needed.

[worthyking]

I just acquired a 2nd gen (90) Acura Integra ITA car and am not happy with the length of the throw on the shifter. It also is a bit mushy and not difficult to mis-shift every now and then.

Looking for advice from Integra drivers on the best setup for the shifter.

In my Neon I installed a Maddog STS which was unbelievably tight and included a rod-brake to protect against those frequent adrenline-fueled shifts. The best $100 I ever spent on that car honestly. I would love to find something similar for the Teg.

Short (pardon the pun) answer is that short shifters are not allowed in IT. Keep the stock parts healthy and if you want, modify the lever - but that's it.

Yup. Short shifters aren't legal in Improved Touring...

Do you know the condition of the shifter bushings? The OEM rubber shifter bushings can get pretty sloppy. There's really nothing you can do within the rules to change the length of the throw, but at least you can firm it up and make it a little more precise.

Shifter bushings must be stock too.

Hold on, I've seen many guys in ITA Neons using Booger Bushings on the shifter linkage.
