Default Short Shifter Kit 98?

I have a 1998 Accord sedan 5 speed and i want to put a short shifter in it, I was wondering if anyone knows of any full kits out there for it. I've seen adapters but im not sure what affect that will have on it, i also want one with a new boot and **** if possible.

Thanks.

I'd also like to know about this.

The throw on my 99 Accord is pretty long, I'd like to shorten it.

Does anybody know where this goes? I bought it a while back, advertised as a short shifter. I'm guessing it hooks up with the shift linkage upstream from where the gear selector is. No instructions were included. I'm guessing its something like what the guy in this video installs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14gmpnwvUyI

Any update to this? The long throw shifts on my 99 accord are annoying.

These guys make a great product. I have multiple friends with JTC short shifters.

Hey guys so if you dont have the money for an expensive short shifter like me, this is what i did. I went to a near by scrap yard and pulled out the shifter box of a prelude not sure on year but it was the last gen of them so right around 2000. Shifter cost me 20 bucks and i just sanded it down to get the rust off it. I ordered a short shift adapter off of ebay for like 10 bucks. Combined the two and it works pretty damn good, the throws and much quicker felt a whole lot better. I topped the mod off with a weighted shift **** aswell. Just a heads up the lude shifter is alot shorter in height and if you put the wrong **** on your hand may come into contact with the hand brake, an extension solves this or a taller shift ****, not sure if oem shift **** works well or not mine is a weighted one off ebay and sits just above the handbrake when its fully down.
