ACUITY Adjustable Performance Shifter - Honda Civic Type R (FD2 / FN2)
The ACUITY Adjustable Performance Shifter replaces the factory shifter in the 8th Gen Civic, including the FD2 and FN2 Civic Type R. It fits under the factory console and gives a shorter, tighter, more precise shift with much firmer centering.
Choose the 1-Way or the 3-Way. The 1-Way adjusts knob height over a 30mm range, and throw and gate spacing shorten as the knob is lowered. The 3-Way adjusts knob height over a 40mm range and lets you set gear throw and gate spacing separately, so you can tune the H-pattern to suit you.
Both use an aluminium and stainless steel frame, two PTFE-lined spherical bearings and a thick over-wound centering spring with cushioned legs, giving about double the factory centering force at the knob. Expect a firmer shift with more feedback from the gearbox, and allow two to four weeks of daily driving for the bearings to bed in.
Note: Suits manual 8th Gen Civics, including the FD2 and FN2 Civic Type R. Fits under the factory console. Works with M10x1.5 and OEM Honda shift knobs. Installation by a professional is recommended.
