I have a 99 Accord 5 speed and been through one short shifter already. I suggest that you stay away from DC Sports or other 2 piece short shifters. My old DC Sports shifter got stuck when I was trying to take off (not racing) so I had to pull it back really hard and be very gentle with to get home. I currently have a neuspeed short shifter that I've been using for several years and it works great. Its only one piece and there is very little play. Here's a pic of the short shifter I currently have in my car:http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...rtshifter.jpgI don't know how much you know about your car or what you have done but I've done all but one of the installs myself.
