ACUITY High Preload Shifter Centering Spring Honda Civic Type R (FL5)

ACUITY High Preload Shifter Centering Spring - Honda Civic Type R (FL5)

The ACUITY High Preload Centering Spring is an upgrade for the ACUITY 4-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter (1981) in the FL5 Civic Type R. It has about 15% more centering preload than the spring the 1981 shifter comes with, so the lever returns to the middle gate with more authority after each change.

Like the standard spring, it is zinc plated against corrosion and uses rubber sleeves on the legs to keep shifts quiet. Expect a modest but noticeable increase in centering force, with a little more effort needed to reach the outer gears (1, 2, 5, 6 and reverse). For a lighter feel, ACUITY also makes a low preload spring (1981-S01) with about 15% less preload.

Note: Suits the ACUITY 4-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter (1981-RHD) only. It does not fit the OEM shifter. Installation by a professional is recommended.
