I'll add this to my Mugen shift box, H-Fit hard mounts and solid derlin under hood shift bushings.... I still doubt that will eliminate my issue though I have so much side to side slop in gear, other drivers think it is still in neutral and stall it.

I ordered an extra. I would be able to post it for you when I get it. $20 (my cost with tax, and some gas to the post office) + $37 USPS priority mail to you. I won't be able to send out until Saturday as it is my only day off.



I just installed the SS adapter today. Like everyone says the white cap at the end of the stock shifter is a bitch to get off. After trying different methods outlined in the Skunk2 SS thread, I found the easiest way to remove it was to get a small vice grip to pry and use as leverage. Most difficult thing about the install was trying to tighten the three allen screws. It is at such a bad angle. I haven't taken the car for a spin yet, but just going through the gears it's a slight improvement.

These are still available from Skunk2.. for $15 why not indeed.

I ordered a set.. even if the shipping up to Vancouver (~$20.) costs more than the parts.

I actually managed to add this to my setup... Had to notch the tunnel for the shifter to clear though

Made a VERY noticeable difference! Quite happy with the $20 spent!!!

Wanted to check this fits the uk gd jazz sport model?

I emailed skunk2 before I found this thread and they said it wouldn't fit, so want to double check.

Thanks.

I installed this on my GD1 2007 Fit (Brazil) and it fits. I also had the Mugen shifter on my 2007 GD3. As far as I know, both OEM shifters have the same dimension (but the materials are slight different).

The strutking metal washer (designed for GD3) also fits too. I am using that with the skunk2 adapter. It works fine without any problems.

I would suggest to take the cotter pin out and completely detach the shifter (from the cable) during installation. It is much easier to install the adapter that way. I simply don't know how people can "slap" the adapter in place and tighten the 3 allen screws without taking the shifter out

Hope this helps.

Yep this was the best $20 I spent. I still am getting used to the new throw but the feel is so much better and removed tons of slop.

Spend another $30? on strutking metal bushing. You will feel like the shifter is wielded to the chassis

I installed this last night on my GD3.

Hardest part was that damn bushing on the pivot ball. Used a 17mm socket to get leverage and pop it off. Took me about 20 minutes to do it.
