Robust enough for the track, Refined enough for the street
Easily the most capable Integra Dc5 shifter, the beauty of the Acuity 4-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter is partly due to the careful attention to detail and rigorous testing that went into its nearly 1.5-year design process.
Shift knob height is adjustable as much as 30mm (1.2") higher or lower than stock, and the knob position can be adjusted within a 52mm (2") circle to help put the shift knob just where you want it.
Gear throw and gate spacing are independently adjustable and allow mild to extreme reductions compared to stock (up to 55% shorter throw and 41% narrower gates). The unique linkage design substantially reduces throw for quick shifts in a form factor that easily fits under the Integra Dc5 console.
This shifter's robust design makes it equally at home in a K-swapped vehicle using an Integra Dc5 transmission. Using the gate and gear adjustments, it's easy to tune the H-pattern spacing of your shifter to your exact liking.
In addition, the shifter's frame is built from a careful combination of aluminium and stainless steel to improve the frame's stiffness while being mindful of weight. A large-diameter, aluminium pivot ball in a wear-compensating, spherical race provides smooth shifting with minimal friction and excellent long-term wear resistance.
Centring is quick, decisive, quiet, and consistent, complimenting a thick, over-wound centring spring and re-engineered spring perches. On top of all this, the spherical joint in the rocker has been heavily upgraded over the OEM design to allow for wear compensation to avoid the play that typically develops in the OEM shifter.
What to Expect:
Expect a significantly different and sporty shifting experience, even compared to our Stage 1 shifting kit and most similar aftermarket RSX shifters. This is not just another Dc5 shifter; it was engineered to provide an incredibly satisfying, precise shifting experience.
At first, it may take some time to adjust to the extreme reductions in throw and gate spacing and the stiffer centring action. Still, in a short while, you will find the shifter's precision, quick throws, narrow gates and snappy centring, 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. Changes will feel more rigid, defined, and confidence-inspiring during spirited driving because the shifter is made from much stiffer materials than the stock shifter.
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 shifting feel is primarily up to you, and we highly suggest you take time tuning the gate spacing and throw to your liking before reinstalling the console.
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. The joints in Acuity's shifter are designed to be low-friction and very efficient at wear-compensating.
This means that your shifter will give you a much longer service life than an OEM shifter before any signs of wear are noticeable.
