Appreciate the pointer but that's steep for the UK, plus additional shipping and customs tax it would be a stinger. Anything else spotted in the coming months let me know guys.

I feel I may have to rob someone's interior at the next show though! :lol:

How good are these from experience anyone care sharing?
The stock is pretty long and anyone with that 5th gear crunch got one in and has it done any better or worse?
I would put it down for an addition myself in the near future,all seems positive.

A lot of people say they're the best upgrade to their Prelude. I wouldn't go to that extreme (I imagine they've not done a great deal of engine gearbox mods), but they do feel good, much sportier. You can obviously shift that little bit quicker.

As for the 5th gear crunch, they'd probably enhance that feeling if anything, but Amsoil MTF has remedied that time and time again. I used to have 5th gear crunch on my red 4th gen. Amsoil MTF cured it and then I fitted an FM short shifter, job done 8)

I've heard that too Nathan on them,sometimes people exaggerate but this seems to be a doer.
I got the Amsoil in but i fear the stuff i took out showed alot of misuse and spent a lengthy time in there.
I might go with another fresh round of it and get back bleeding the master cylinder,i reckon it's good on the bite but probably a squeeze more in there,considering 5th is the lazy gear :P
