does anyone have this? i have a question on the installation..

"Start off by removing the clips that hold the shift cables to the shifter frame. You must hammer them out with a flathead screw driver, punch (as shown) or similar object."

thats what the installation says.. do i bang it sideways on that spot?

yes, either from there or go from behind with a flathead screw driver and catch it right in the middle of the lip that goes back.

momstaxi · 06-07-2006, 11:43 AM

watch out though, sometimes, especially the first time those clips are removed they have a tendency to shoot off with some velocity. keep that in mind so you dont loose one.

remo · 06-07-2006, 11:59 AM

those clips are such a bitch, it might be easier to pry them off from the holes in the middle of the clip

fw190bvi · 06-07-2006, 12:56 PM

oh god that pic brings back some painful memories...

i remember i used a flat head and a hammer to get them off. be sure to pound at each of the prongs evenly so that the clip comes off straight

iLUVmyACCORD · 06-07-2006, 10:57 PM

what do you guys recommmend? the pspec or the forbidden short shifter? theres a 30 dollar in price difference.. any personal experience?

TouringAccord · 06-08-2006, 04:26 AM

I don't have any personal experience yet with either but when I get my Accord I plan to buy the PSPEC shifter.

honda4674 · 06-08-2006, 08:55 AM

what year accord is this its not a cb7 is it?

TouringAccord · 06-08-2006, 09:28 AM

it's a 5th gen. but I don't know if the 4th gens are the same or different.

pumafeet10 · 06-08-2006, 09:40 AM

is there any real difference between forbidden and p spec 30 bucks isn't a big difference but is there something better about one then the other? I will be getting one want some input!!!

iLUVmyACCORD · 06-08-2006, 10:56 AM

well heres the thing

forbidden ($125/135 depends on color) has 3 holes .. adjustable short shifter
pspec ($160) one hole, regular short shifter

and yes this is for my 5th gen..

edit: one more thing

forbidden charges 8 bucks for shipping while pspec charges 20 bucks...

alittle more than 30 bucks i guess if u include shipping

when i got my Pspec, with that 180 shipped was also included a REALLY nice thick leather shift boot (stock is vinyl) and a black ITR styled knob. additionally, forbidden requires you to go get some new part from honda, while pspec can reuse it (at least thats how it used to be)

raceACCORDingly · 06-08-2006, 09:15 PM

forbidden you only need a $5 prelude bolt.

yeah, and i discovered after i bought it from honda, you dont really even need that special bolt, i think a standard 10mm bolt will fit though with a nut...

raceACCORDingly · 06-08-2006, 09:37 PM

i heard it doesnt feel right with a home depot bolt, something about being notchier and not as smooth.

Ashes Devourer · 06-08-2006, 09:58 PM

Looks nice!

pumafeet10 · 06-08-2006, 10:23 PM

so the p spec comes with knob and boot for that price? that would def be wiser

iLUVmyACCORD · 06-08-2006, 11:34 PM

pspec 220 includes shifter, boot, knob, and shipping..

so should i make a poll or what

Ashes Devourer · 06-09-2006, 03:01 AM

Yep

CD5 Jeebies! · 06-09-2006, 05:42 AM

But which one works better???? I plan on getting the Forbidden one....hmmmmm

iLUVmyACCORD · 06-09-2006, 08:59 AM

im really interested in the forbidden only because it has 3 holes.. adjustable short shifter.. but its not like ill be trying all 3 holes out.. AHHH.. choices choices..

TouringAccord · 06-09-2006, 09:28 AM

Whats the length on the Forbidden shifter? Does anyone have a side-by-side shot of the Forbidden shifter next to the stock shifter? I don't want a really "short" shifter (in reference to the height).

pumafeet10 · 06-09-2006, 09:37 AM

they really look similar in length and im just not sure not many users have chimed in

TouringAccord · 06-09-2006, 09:44 AM

which ones look similar in length? The Forbidden and stock or the Forbidden and PSPEC?

I was looking at pictures of the original PSPEC and it looks pretty short compaired to the stock shifter, I would assume the new/current version is the same length as the original.

IDK, I don't think I would be switching the location of the cable on the Forbidden shifter but I would like to see a compairson to see if I like the length.

iLUVmyACCORD · 06-09-2006, 04:45 PM

thats the pspec next to oem on the right
