looks very cool! have you thought about making a plate with Gates? or is there too much overlap in the travel patterns?
There is overlap in the gear pattern but, I have figured out a way to still do a fully gated shifter but, engineering would be very expensive

The open gate works great and looks good to me

[QUOTE=S2KPUDDYDAD,Jan 3 2008, 07:36 AM] Mine is a bit tall for some peoples tast but, I like the control of having it close to the wheel.

That would be the Unicorn...note how it leans. The Comrade is perfectly straight just like the axial flow but otherwise looks like the Unicorn.

If you want stock shift height with a shorter more direct feel go with the C's.

There is really only one GOOD reason to put a short shifter on one of the best shifting cars on the planet... fun. If it feels good do it. Just hang on to your oem shifter. You may find after a year or two its fun to go back to the lighter softer touch of the stock unit.

I did hang on to my OEM shifter, but every time I drive an S2000 with a stock shifter I fall more in love with my RPSS.

I tried searching online for the Axial Flow Short Shifter kit but i've been reading that it has been discontinued. Is this true? If it isn't, does nayone know where I can buy one? I am highly interested. I just bought my 03 Honda S2k and one of the first modifications will be a short shifter. I absolutley LOVE the feel of short shifters. Any information will be great. Thanks.
