I fixed the link!

I would think the shift knob would fit, but I'm not going to guarantee it.

Possibly someone else could comment on this!

We know that stock fits. If stock fits on the B&M, and yours fit on stock. Then yours should fit on this.

Difference between OBX and B&M is like the difference between s*** and chocolate... "quote from initial D"

I read on honda tech that short shifters, even as short as 1 inch may screw up your syncros...

I like to shift at 7 on my integra especially because it as a stage 1 clutch. Now it starts to grind at 7 so I am really questioning whether if it's from my short shifter on the car.

I don't know where you got that from but short shifters does not change the range of motion at all concerning the transmission. The shorter throw is from the extended piece on the bottom of the shifter that hooks up to the shift linkage making it shorter for you, the driver, not the transmission. Just use some good gear fluid from redline... although I'm not too sure as some hondas take either GLS or regular 10w30 motor oil.

honda transmission can take 10w30 but this is only for temporary use and not as a permanent, proper substitute.

short shifter contributes to bad syncros, or at least I have read, beacuse you are not giving transmission enough time to fully syncronize the syncro and/or shift fork.... or something. I can't find the article at this moment.

i don't think obx will actually **** it up since it's a copy of some name brand... however I have heard obx short shifter breaking in the middle of hard shifting. haha

I had skunk 2 short shifter, I thought it was pretty good.

yea, like everyone said, B&M costs a lot for a good reason. its extremetly solid, built way better then stock or most other shifters, and it shifts like its on rails, nice and clicky. its really worth the extra money, plus 195 shipped is a damn damn good price. i got mine for 190 from enjuku, buts that was on an xmas sale
