Very good guide mate :thumbup: a lot more clear than the Americanized instructions you get with it lol
putting that clip back on the gear linkage is a right BAS!!!!!! I think awkward is the understatent of the century!!
Never the less Im pleased with it now it's on, didn't think it would be as good as it is! 100% reccomend getting one! Good value aswell!
If you don't have one, go buy one NOW! :-D

Opinions anyone?

Ebay link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TEGIWA-Short-Shif ... 27b1a8ae3d
mine didnt fit!!! Tegiwa reckon its a honda defect, as the original metal screw with a ball end wont fit over the s/shifter. so im left having to file it down some how :sad:

Yep, cracking guide, much easier to understand then the instructions you get.
Only tricky bit was getting the plastic cap off.
thanks

Managed to fit mine today, took about 10/15mins. i to had the same problem with my tegiwa one. i just tapped it slightly and it popped into place :)

only thing is now i get a small crunching noise when selecting first, not sure if its me or the shifter? :scratch:

No idea why your 1st gear feels different......the shifter only shortens the throw, it doesn't affect the actual gearbox in anyway. All I can think is that the "crunch" you feel was already there, but as the throw is 30% shorter it just makes the crunch alot closer.........understand?

Mine's only done 39K and there's a slight difference in 2nd gear.........most CTRs have it mate, nothing to worry about. Next time you get a service (or even before) Drop the transmission oil and fill it up with Honda MTF-3 and some Slick 50 Gearbox oil treatment (halfords £15.99) I did this and it's improved my gear changes alot.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
