RYANSTAR Shifter Extender Adjustable Short Shifter Compatible with Ciciv CRX Del Sol Acura Integra B or D Series Engine Black

Shipping was fast and parts came packaged nicely. It was a pretty straight forward install and after driving it for a week. Shifts nice and smooth. The actual metal quality of the shifter is nice and heavy. Been holding up with me slamming gears on it.

Dollar for Dollar vs the KTuned shifter, this product cant be beat. Bought this for my d series daily driver. Sets the shifter 3/4-1" farther back than stock and on the lowest setting the throw is very comfortable. Paired with a weighted shift knob its a solid feel for each gear, not hollow at all. Even on its lowest setting where I have it, it doesnt interfere with the exhaust. My only complaint, would be the base itself isnt slotted for the set screws. Even after tightening them down, with enough force you can rotate the "kick back" section around. Id suggest either flattening it, or drilling some small pilot holes for the screws to set into like I did.

Let me start by saying that for $30.99 you simply can't beat this. You can't buy the materials alone for that cost, and the build quality was surprisingly good, even after reading every single review currently on Amazon for this. That being said, don't expect to be able to use it right out of the box. First off, all the other reviews were right; the included set screws are soft as butter and the included Allen key is extremely loose in them, making a recipe for stripped set screws that still aren't tight enough. Do yourself a favor and go to your local Ace Hardware or other hardware store and get new set screws at the very least. Secondly, there are no dimples or flats on the lower shaft where the aluminum 'set back bracket' slips over it, meaning even with good set screws set really tight, you may still be able to spin it. I'd recommend test fitting it, getting it right where you want, and then removing the lower set screw, adding some paint, then reinserting the set screw to mark the shaft where you want to grind/cut/file a flat section for them to grab. Alternatively you could also use a drill bit and make divots for the screws to sit in as well. Lastly, this is something I noticed right away unpackaging mine but that I don't think is likely to be an issue for others. I figured I'd mention it anyway. INSPECT EVERYTHING ABOUT PARTS WHEN YOU GET THEM! Even on new parts, and this is a prime example. Upon inspection of the bearings at the bottom of the shaft, I found that one is slightly notched, but still rolls freely. The other however can barely be turned by hand, and feels like I'm spinning a bucket-worth of gravel in it. Luckily these cheap bearings aren't unmarked, and they're identified as a 6900Z bearing (22mm O.D. - 10mm I.D. - 6mm thickness). As I have to replace them anyway I decided to upgrade to a pair of ceramic silicon nitride bearings from ACER Racing out in California, which should last even longer with less friction and a much smoother action. NOTE: I say I feel this is an unlikely thing for anyone else to run into with this shifter because there are several things leading me to believe that this product was returned prior to my receiving it: Several set screw marks in different locations on both shafts, a bit of dirt and grime in some of the threads and of course the damaged bearings. That being said, it did come with everything it was supposed to, in what appeared to be the original packaging, leading me to believe that it was installed only to be immediately removed and returned for whatever reason. It's possible it was returned because those bearings were already junk (Q.C. fail maybe?) and the previous buyer didn't feel like replacing them, but that's really just speculation. All in all, this is a fantastic value as long as you know what you're getting into. Expect it to be less than perfect.. after all, it's only $30. For the person who's willing to go a little further to save some money though, this is perfect. Also because it irked me that it's not listed anywhere, the thread size for the shift knob is M10x1.5, and despite the listing saying it comes with adapters, it doesn't. As they aren't in the photos either, I assume it was either not supposed to be in the listing, or was a misprint that intended to say that the adapters were available separately.

Not a bad shifter very strong and made out of steal! And comes with the bolts that fits in the hole , don’t listen to them other reviews you won’t need your stock bolt it comes with one that fits the hole!

Great shifter for the money hands down almost the same quality as a k tuned works great in my 92 Acura integra gs only downside is that if you have a larger than stock exhaust it will hit the exhaust when the throw is adjusted to the shortest possible throw but that is to be expected but if that doesn't bother you (doesn't bother me one bit )and or you have a stock exhaust then defiantly a great product oh and if it is an integra you may have to grind down the weight bar a bit for clearance but no biggie

So incredibly happy with this purchase. Shifts are short and crisp. This is not some lightweight junk knockoff. Has a nice weight to it! Thanks so much. Installed on a 91 CRX Si no problem!

Bad

Been a little over a year and I haven’t had a single problem with it no set screws have come loose and made the shifts very smooth and very customizable setting height and throw

The shifter is good and feels solid but when installed the ball part of the shifter rattles like crazy

Great product, have been using for 6 months, and I'm slightly disappointed, the brass pivot ball has gotten significantly worn down over time and will need replacing soon, it has deep wear marks/indents from the pivot bushing. Was expecting it to last longer.
