FEATURES
Refining your Civic or Integra's shifting system is a great way to add a sporty feel that will put a smile on your face every time you go for a drive. The ACUITY Shifter Rocker Upgrade for the 11th Gen Honda Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra can be appreciated as much during street driving as at the track. Altered geometry reduces the mechanical advantage of the rocker to provide 10% narrower gates and a stiffer shift feel in the lateral (left/right) direction. Much like how a short throw adapter reduces the distance in the longitudinal (forward and reverse) direction while changing gears, this Shifter Rocker Upgrade reduces the distance in the lateral (left and right) direction while changing gates (shifts between gears 2/3 or 4/5). 6061 aluminum is used in place of the OEM plastic, meaning less flex when shifting forcefully and better feedback from the transmission during shifts. The rocker's main pivot uses a precision bronze bushing to reduce play and friction. ACUITY's unique patent-pending spherical joint design incorporates low-friction, self-lubricating bushings that reduce friction while naturally eliminating play in the joint. This allows the joint to wear-compensate over time, meaning the rocker will age gracefully and provide many years of use, abuse, and happy shifting. Also included with each kit is a packet of premium grease and 2 retaining rings needed for installation.
To get the most refined experience from your OEM shifter, we recommend pairing this Shifter Rocker Upgrade with the ACUiTY Shifter Base Bushings (SKU 1914), ACUiTY Shifter Cable Bushings (SKU 1881), ACUiTY Shifter Centering Spring Upgrade (SKU 1988), and the ACUiTY Short Throw Adapter (SKU 1983).
A packet of grease is included with each kit to help lubricate certain areas during installation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
On the 11th Gen Honda Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra, this Shifter Rocker Upgrade will reduce gate spacing by approximately 10% and will stiffen the lateral action of the shifter. Additionally, when moving the shifter in the lateral (left or right) directions, you should notice less play and less compliance (sponginess).
Below is an illustration of how the gate spacing changes after installation. Note that the spacing change is exaggerated in the image to make the effect clear.

So, I already had the shifter bushings for the trans. I ordered all the rest of the parts separately. Finally installed this today, along with the other shifter upgrades, and holy sh!#, what a difference! Having owned 8 manuals from civics, prelude, Mazda 3, Nissan, and jeep wrangler, these parts made the already great shift box even more amazing! I understand I’m not reviewing just the shifter rocker alone, but why would you just buy this and not the rest of the items? If you’re looking for positive gear engagement, less slop from the factory shifter, and a shorter throw, don’t wait any longer and go ahead and purchase the stuff! Not to mention Axion is an amazing company with excellent customer service!! I even got some Airheads candy to much on during the install. Thanks Axion! P.S.- yes I’m aware that this review is nearly identical to the shifter extension review. Hard to review one item when I installed all the goodies at the same time.
