Why Honda shifters are so good, an anthropological and technical exploration.
Honda has long been the accepted standard for manual shifters. Sure, insert-automakers-name-here's manual might be great, but is it Honda good?The company has made world-class manuals since the start. I recently had the opportunity to drive an S800 borrowed from the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. An evolution of Honda's first ever road car—the S500 arrived in 1963 alongside the T360 kei truck—all the elements are already there.
In terms of feel, going with cables is never the ideal—Weismann:"Quoting my grandmother, 'You can't push a rope.'"—though they're often a necessity for packaging, as was the case with the NSX. The original press release credits great shift feel to large diameter cables.
