RE: short shifter hittin exhaust
I have a 97 civic with an aftermarket exhaust and short shifter they contact going into fifth but theres not much I can do the exhaust is just to big. I am pretty sure this is a common problem as long as it doesnt interrupt you from going into a gear I wouldnt worry about it to much.

yep mine does it too. I've got an ebay short shifter and cusotm 2.25" piping. It doesn't rub as much anymore than when i first installed it, so maybe it just takes a while to break in? lol idk, either that or my exhaust is sagging now.

I had a 97 ex, and I had the same problem. I found that the counter weight at the end of the linkage was hitting my exhaust and made it hard to shift. I took my linkage off and grinded it down a little bit, just enough for clearance. After that, smooth shifting.
