    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.

    Seeing it used, modified or done doesn't make a lot of things we see legal.

    Kevin merely asked if the owner knew the condition of the bushings. My OEM ones will be replaced this winter if Honda still produces them.
