 DC Sports Short Shift Adapter - Installation

    click for a larger picture
I just received a DC Sports short shift adapter with a set of Momo Aluminum Pedals for $50 shipped, a pretty good deal since a new short shifter costs $50-$100 and a Momo pedal set also costs $50-100.

The Accord does not have a direct mechanical linkage for the transmission but uses a series of cables instead. The short shift adapter changes the location that the cables connect to the shifter thereby reducing the amount the shifter needs to move. I estimate it only decreased the throw by 1/2"-1" so it's not a huge difference, but one you can feel. I'm glad I got a good deal b/c there's no way I'd pay $50 for the adapter alone! I guess my next step is to cut the shifter so it's not so long.

The Sport Shifter was an easy install and took about an hour last night, but only b/c i wasn't sure what I was doing. I couldn't find a good DIY guide even though I knew it existed. Funny thing is, I found it this morning... I won't put up my own guide because someone else already has an excellent guide up but here's a picture of what mine looks like.
