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!

Has anyone fitted the Tegiwa short shifter? Going by the look of it, it looks identical to the Neuspeed one and at only £65 it's cheaper too

Opinions anyone?

How do Tegiwa get away with all this ripping off? Surely patents are in place?

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

[TEGIWA IMPORTS]

It was a defect - photo's proved it
We'll can fit for free too if you can come to us

[BlakMagik]

well i live in west london, so your pretty out of my way unfortunately... :bigcry:

[GazEP3]

Likewise I'm over in Northern Ireland Was the defect just a one off? Not overly fussed if I have to file a tiny bit off like

[BlakMagik]

i sorted it fine, so did chris wheela, just a file and a bit of patience :thumbup:

[mattdowsing]

Top guide again I'll be using this next week!

[BlakMagik]

no probs, its a great mod, simple but effective

:thumbup:

[nath4speed]

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:

any ideas guys?

[bluntcap]

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.

cheers dude :salut:


i'm due a service next month, perfect timing!
