🏎️ Improved Honda Civic/CR-X Skunk2 Racing 628-05-0090 Dual-Bend Short Shifter Review

I have nothing bad to say about the Skunk 2 Racing Short Double Curve Shifter, it definitely makes a difference in shifting. I'm very impressed with the quality and enjoy the short moves it has rather than replacing stick parts that were needed it's definitely a good cheap mod.

Improved shift feel and shorter strokes. The weight of the derailleur works well with the weighted shift knob. This derailleur has a bit of a jagged feel compared to the OE derailleur, but overall it's a definite improvement over the stock. Installation went well, two issues arose: 1) the rubber boot over the shifter ball was difficult to install, 2) the bolt supplied by Skunk2 was too short to use so the OE bolt was reused.

Sturdy construction, comes with a set of screws and fasteners. I reused rubber gear guards from warehouse scrap. It took a lot of work to get the parts included in the kit to fit both washers and rubber shields. Once everything is in place, the whole arm feels really solid. Tip: Use whatever gadget they give you, don't leave washers or it will rattle.

This product is just amazing! Here in Jamaica I converted my 2000 Honda Civic EK3 from automatic to manual and installed this setup. I have to say it's an incredible feeling. This rod paired with Skunk2's 5 speed weighted shifter makes for a flawless amazing duo. The gears are very close together, tight and extremely smooth, you will never miss or grind a gear with this setting. Don't forget to include protan red shift bushings to give it that ultra silky feel I was able to pull off a 21 year…
