That's what shell-mode-hook is for.

Applying that selectivity to Ivan's solution (which I modified):

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
                         'comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom
                         t)))           ; LOCAL
