pspec short shifter
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.

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.

Re: pspec short shifter (remo)
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

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 ****. 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)

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...

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).

Re: (pumafeet10)
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.
