• Shift knob height is adjustable within a 40mm (1.6") range
• Stiff, snappy centering action thanks to 3x more spring force than stock
• Centering is decisive, snappy, and quiet, thanks to a 100% increase in spring force over stock and padded spring legs.
• Precision, self-lubricating joints for consistent, quiet operation and stiff, all-metal frame for reduced compliance and improved shift accuracy.
• Exact range varies by vehicle model. See the "Adjustment Specs" section in the description for exact reduction range based on vehicle model. 

Easily the most capable 8th Gen Civic shifter ever developed, the beauty of the ACUiTY 3-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter is due to the careful attention to detail and rigorous testing that went into its nearly 1.5-year design process. The result of this design effort is a shifter that is equally at home in anything from a mildly modded street car to a purpose-built race car.

The shifter's unique triple-spherical architecture and divorced spring design lend it a confidence-inspiring shift feel in a form factor that still fits under the factory console. Shift knob height is adjustable within a 40mm (1.6") range.

Gear throw and gate spacing are independently adjustable and allow for mild to rather extreme reductions compared to stock (up to 50% shorter throw and 40%* narrower gate spacing). Using the gate and gear adjustments, it's easy to tune the H-pattern of your shifter to your exact liking.

The shifter's frame is built from a careful combination of aluminum and stainless steel to improve rigidity while being mindful of weight. Two PTFE-lined precision spherical bearings ensure smooth shifting with minimal friction and great long-term wear resistance.

Centering is quick, decisive, quiet, and consistent, compliments of a thick, over-wound centering spring, cushioned spring legs, and re-engineered spring architecture. The centering force at the knob is 100% more than the stock shifter on the 8th Gen Si and Type R. Works with all M10x1.5 and OEM Honda/Acura shift knobs. *Exact range varies by vehicle model. See the "Adjustment Specs" section in the description for exact reduction range based on vehicle model.

What to Expect

Expect a significantly different and more sporty shifting experience, even when compared to our Stage 1 shifting kit and other aftermarket 8th Gen Civic shifters. This is not just another short shifter - it was carefully engineered to provide an incredibly satisfying, precise shifting experience above and beyond anything previously available.

At first, it may take some time to adjust to the extreme reductions in throw and gate spacing, as well as the stiffer centering action, but in a short while, you will find the shifter's precision, short throws, narrow gates and snappy centering making every driving experience an opportunity to put a smile on your face. You will likely find that the improved precision will lead to more confidence in quick shifts and more consistent shifting in general. Because the shifter is made from much stiffer materials than the stock shifter, shifts will feel more rigid, defined, and confidence-inspiring during spirited drives.

The discerning driver will notice more feedback from the gearbox compliments of this rigid construction. This can be useful in determining the quality of your footwork on the clutch and shift timing. The exact ratio of throw distance to gate spacing is a very personal matter.  Take advantage of the adjustments to make the H-pattern perfect for you. Consider starting with the gate and throw adjustments set to 1 for a mild reduction compared to stock. Once you've adjusted to that shift feel, increase reductions to suit your driving style perfectly.

Expect a brief break-in period of 2-4 weeks of daily driving, where the shifter's internal friction will reduce and level out. You'll notice during this period that shifts become a bit easier than when the shifter was initially installed. This happens because the freshly installed bearings are burnishing themselves. Once this process is complete, internal friction will level out and provide a consistent shift feel for years to come.

Adjustment Specs:

• Adjustable Shift Knob Height with 40mm (1.6") range.
• Adjusts between 25mm taller and 15mm lower than stock on '06-'08 Civic Si's.
• Adjusts between 10mm taller and 30mm lower than stock on '09-'11 Civic Si's.
• Adjusts from stock to 40mm lower on the '07-'11 FD2 and FN2 Civic Type-R. 
• Adjustable Gear Throw can be reduced from 10% to 50% shorter than stock and helps to tune shift throws to your preference for precise, lightning-fast shifts. 
• Adjustable Gate Spacing allows a reduction from 5% to 40% narrower than stock on the '09-'11 Si and '07-'11 FD2/FN2 Type R and 10% wider to 30% narrower than stock on the '06-'08 Si.
• Gate spacing can be adjusted independently from throw to get a shift feel that's perfect for you.
