Right, the lad who owned my lude before me bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-PRELUDE ... 35b5ff53ab

If anyone has one, how the FECK does it go on ?

Mm, sort of. Mines a 5th gen. I found it n the glove box when i got it home and i didnt know what it was at first. He actually payed £25 for it (lol!)

I might try fit it, if it actually does anything

they do work just not as good as a true shortshift

i have one in the garage for a 4th gen that i used before getting the FM shift.
the 5th ones look a little more complicated.

you have to cut away some plastic, no biggie plastic is covered by the gaiter

had it on my last lude, no pics but its simple to install

does have shorter throw, a true short shift would have better feel I presume... never had one

Well i didnt pay for it, so ill fiddle tomorrow

Replaced my door and wing today, 2 hours labour (first time removing for my self) and its all done, lined up and looking very very nice.

the adapters i found took away about 30 to 35% of the throw were as the true shifters are more 50%.
in the 4th gen the adapters were a little bulky and you had to adapt the gaitor to fit.

i had a 3 hole one and that was a pain as hole 1 would put the throw so far foward your knuckles went through the sterio and the 3rd hole put the throw so far back. so only the centre hole was any good.

and the heavier the knob you put on the better it feels

a light gear knob with short throw is nasty
