group buy as i'm interested as well. what else should be consider changing along with this? bushing?

I think he was actualy talking about "short shift kits"... not short shifting like you've explain above.

Apparently the short shift kit adds more stress to the gearbox (From what I've been told with a quick chat to my mechanic about it). It was a while ago, and it was only a quick chat so I'm not 100% sure about it.

I don't understand how it could. Short shift kits just change the amount of throw needed to move the cables. It speeds up changes so it theoretically shouldn't be any different (load wise) to a fast gear change with a regular shifter.

Thoughts?

type S shift feels good anyways

No.

Type S has rubber bushings, Type R has metal.

No.

Type S has rubber bushings, Type R has metal.

I have a set of Metal replacement bushing for Type S if anyones interested? $20 + Postage, bought them ages ago but now have no use for them.

If plaything wants them all he needs to do is show me his HAWTNESS and he can have em!

No. Type R has metal bushings and a really nice direct meaty feel from factory. I found the standard Type S throw quite vague compared to the Type R. It's an easy fix though.

You basically remove the rubber bushings & replace it with a metal one.

P.s. I have an obsession with wood

Correct me if I am wrong, Type R has metal shifter bushings, but type R has rubber shifter cable bushings.

No.

is it worth upgrading the shifter cable on the DC5R?

Who makes an aftermarket gear shift cable? I doubt that anyone could make anything as reliable and quality as the Honda item for the same money.
