RHD short shift adaptor install on the Type R

[@salty1ify]

Gota say lew, as an fn2 owner the moving the seat thing is spot on. I was pissing mysen at that. Goid job pal keep em coming. Watched all ur vids 👍

[@FNLEW]

Glad it made you laugh mate 😂. Cheers mate will do!

[@nizaamaj]

nice little how to guide, i've ordered mine and will definitely be using your video as reference. Thanks for taking the time.

[@FNLEW]

Thank you very much and no problem at all 👍🏻

[@y55ctr3]

Great video and the bit about moving the drivers seat position cracked me up 🤣 every fn2 owners nightmare.

[@FNLEW]

Haha thank you. I know right! 😂

[@Choopuhcabra]

as a tall guy this got me, gonna be copping this asap🤣

[@brettershoalar9001]

Yes, you finally did it. Feels good, dunnit? I am now using a knob like yours, feels much better. The original one is resting on a shelf. I got mine like what 1 and a half year ago. I was able to get my hands on one for like 15£ back then, e-bay was helping out. Anyway, the RHD looks clean. Stay safe! I digged my knuckles in the lower metal trim right after getting the blue bearing cap off.

[@TheMagicmandan]

I'm lucky, my Fn2 seat position is all the way back and upright so it always goes to it!

[@FNLEW]

Jesus you giant man 😂

[@davidlowe3854]

I installed my short shift adaptor this evening, how you did it using a small manual file I have no idea, I used a dremel and i was amazed by the amount of material you have to remove to get it to engage without hitting - you are one persistent man!!

[@FNLEW]

Good job mate! Haha it was getting done that day no matter what 😂

[@dmh4535]

Great video Lewis and your videos have helped me buy the Bluetooth FM converter and I have also done some other changes to badges and wing mirrors. Love the channel dude

[@FNLEW]

Amazing! Glad I could help and that you're enjoying the content ☺

[@patrickjhorton1]

You've got more patience than me mate. I'd have gone and got the dremmel.... Great confidence in front of the camera...

[@FNLEW]

Haha I nearly did 😂. Thank you mate.

"Coilovers here I come" - gave me a good giggle that!

[@FNLEW]

Haha I'm glad 😂

[@IssaTeg]

My FN2 has a lot of play in the shifter sorta forward and back do you think this would help it at all? Or do I need to replace bushings

[@FNLEW]

It will shorten the throw from front to back but won't fix any wear that's already there.

[@24hrs365]

I was putting off fitting a short shifter for ages. Is it worth taking out the driver seat for more access?

[@FNLEW]

To be honest the amount of effort of taking the seat out really doesn't gain you any extra access.

[@dmh4535]

Hahahaha 😂😂😂 love the skit about the seat pull/won’t go back! I’ve only had mine and it’s frickin annoying 😂😂😂

[@FNLEW]

Haha thank you, I do agree 😂

[@SuzhouChen]

every time I got friends need to sit at the back. Me: Get in from the other side. DONT TOUCH MY SEAT!

[@brettershoalar9001]

I change its position every day. Right before I get out, I push the seat back. Oh what I do to protect the side bolster. Lovely seats!

[@leightonlewis2253]

How's the short shifter going, any long term issues?

[@maxi1986100]

Hi lew have you looked into doing detent spring upgrade? I wounder if itl make difference to ours cars fn2? Also hybrid racing shifter bushes for better feel?

[@FNLEW]

I think both of those things would definitely help but unfortunately it won't stop the fact that some gearboxes like mine just need some internal parts replaced.

[@TheSheamus78]

Does that Bluetooth transmitter actually work??

[@FNLEW]

Yes, I did a video on it 👍🏻

[@michaeltomlinson1475]

Got a update on the short shifter mate great video

[@FNLEW]

Still works great mate. Thank you 😊

[@johnlang3233]

Any ideas what size diameter the ball is on the end of the lever - I need one of these with a 10mm ball ?

[@FNLEW]

I have no clue mate. Maybe ask the part supplier.

[@balintbarsi8971]

Hi. Is this short shifter fit in a fn1 type s? Can somebody help please?

[@FNLEW]

If you message RHD themselves they should help you 👍🏻

[@balintbarsi8971]

@@FNLEW thank you so much

[@asriny.1545]

@@balintbarsi8971 1 year later, did it fit? I have a type S civic and i want this 😅

[@Noah-cp7mv]

Hey mate, great video. I was just curious to what shifter your using?

[@FNLEW]

Thanks mate. I just have the standard FN2 shifter.

[@JA-wy1zv]

Did you find the gears were a stiffer/ more effort needed to get into 2, 3 & especially 6 ? Maybe not as you have a weighted shifer

[@FNLEW]

I did notice this slightly yes but not too drastic. The weighted knob definitely helps.

[@JA-wy1zv]

@@FNLEW cheers mate then I shall definitely invest in one

[@jreeve1979]

I must admit, and I know I'm replying to a year old comment, but I fitted my short shifter yesterday, a weekend after having a new clutch fitted and new gear oil, and after much removing of plastic, I've found 2,4,y and R seem to just POP in easily, but 1,3 and 5 feel a tad stiffer, almost like its not quite in. Definitely think it's just how the short shifter makes things though.

[@MrHipwell1989]

Lew have you got the roof rust issue?

[@FNLEW]

No but I think it was sorted by a previous owner.

[@patrickjhorton1]

Honda did mine in May this year. My Fn2 is an 08 plate. Honda Crewe. Hope this helps

[@knottzyt]

Alright Lew, i've had my fn2 a while now and I think, like you. I have the 3rd gear issue, its not that often but can be annoying. Would you say this short shift provided any benefit towards the 3rd gear problem?

[@FNLEW]

To be honest I don't think it benefits the problem in any way. I wish it did but sadly no.

[@knottzyt]

@@FNLEW Thank you for being truthful. I've bought one anyway. Gearbox oil change next then. :)

[@FNLEW]

@@knottzyt it's still well worth getting. Yes that should help 👍🏻

[@japcarjunkie]

Adjust your clutch biting point,that could help.

[@dave2324]

Thanks for the vid pal

[@FNLEW]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@Sn1k3rS]

What bluetooth are you using? I am after one and I can't decide which one to get.

[@FNLEW]

It's just an fm transmitter from amazon that I use.

[@blade8768]

I'm going to buy an FN2 this year are they worth it?

[@FNLEW]

I think so. I wouldn't keep one otherwise 😂

[@blade8768]

@@FNLEW This is true, what are they like to daily? I have a Honda prelude 3rd generation atm (project car) but due to it being so hard to find parts or waitting weeks for parts from the U.S it's becoming impossible to daily and I don't want to run it into the ground, so I was thinking of upgrading to the FN2 for the new daily and overall my main car while taking the prelude off the road completely so making it easier for me to work on.

[@FNLEW]

@@blade8768 I'd say it's a good all rounder daily. The inside will be a huge difference for you. Rides a bit firm but plenty of space and it's very chuckable. Just mid 20s on mpg when in stop start traffic and the occasional foot down.

[@tonym1712]

I bought a FN2 1 month ago and I love that car.

[@randyrandier2664]

As you had the trim piece removed you could have changed the fuel filter as the same time and save the hassle

I didn't know I could reach it from there. I know for next time 👍🏻
