Robust enough for the track, Refined enough for the street
Easily the most capable shifter available for the 10th Gen Civic, the beauty of the Acuity Fully Adjustable Performance Shifter is due in part to the careful attention to detail and rigorous testing that went into its nearly 2-year design process.
Gear throw and gate spacing are independently adjustable and allow for mild to rather extreme reductions compared to stock. Using these adjustments, it's easy to tune the H-pattern spacing of your shifter to your exact liking.
The knob is both height and position adjustable to gain the most personalised shift, with laser markings indicating safe adjustment ranges. 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 resistance to play. Centring is quick, decisive and consistent, compliments of a thick, over-wound centring spring and re-engineered spring perches.
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. To help with installation, this shifter is equipped with unique base bushings that feature an o-ring fastening design that allows them to stay affixed to the shifter.
What to Expect:
Expect a significantly different and more sporty shifting experience compared to our Stage 2 shifting kit and other aftermarket shifting upgrades.
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.
The improved precision will lend 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, changes will feel more rigid, defined and confidence-inspiring during spirited driving.
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 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.
