3-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter for the 8th Gen Civic

$ 429.00
SKU: 1960-3W
  • Gear throw can be adjusted from 10%-50% shorter than stock, and gate spacing can be adjusted from 5%-40%* narrower than stock.
  • Shift knob height is adjustable within a 40mm (1.6") range
  • 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.

Robust enough for the track, Refined enough for the street:

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.

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.

Next-Day Shipping Policy:

Shipments are sent only after payment has been received. ACUITY Instruments LLC reserves the right to delay shipments temporarily if credit card fraud is suspected. ACUITY Instruments LLC ships all orders on the next business day. This means that if you purchase the "next day" shipping option, next day shipping will go out the next day, meaning a total transit time of 2-days. Similarly, 2-day shipping takes 3 days since the order is filled the next day. If you require faster shipping, we recommend you contact one of our vendors that carries inventory.

Shipping Options:

Everyone loves lots of shipping options! We offer USPS, UPS, and FedEx shipping options for domestic (within the United States) shipments and USPS, UPS, FedEX and DHL for international shipments. For your convenience, we offer shipping options with transit times as low as 2 business days. At this time, we do not offer next-day shipping options. 


Shipping Insurance and Signature Policy:

Acuity insures all packages it ships. This insurance covers damage to or loss of the product while in transit only. This does not cover theft of the package after delivery. Because of this, a signature is required for delivery of all orders over $100 (before shipping costs). If you will not be available to receive the shipment, many carriers permit the recipient to leave a note on the door instructing them to leave the package. If you choose to do this, please remember that Acuity Instruments LLC cannot insure packages that are stolen.

Free Shipping Options:

Occasionally we offer shipping specials where orders over a certain amount are free. If we are offering this, you will see the free shipping option in your cart at checkout. If no options is visible at checkout, then either there is currently no free shipping offer or you are not in a zone that qualifies for free shipping. Most states in the continental USA qualify when a shipping special is being ordered. There is no choice of carrier for free shipping, but typically we will ship your order will likely ship using either USPS or FedEx. If you'd like a faster delivery, you can opt out of the Free Shipping option in favor of a faster, paid, shipping option.

 

Taxes on International Shipments:

It is against Acuity's policy to falsify tax documents during the shipment of goods to locations outside of the USA. The tax documents for your shipment will reflect the price you paid for the parts. Please do not contact us requesting us to falsify tax documents so that you do not have to pay taxes on the shipment as we cannot do this.

Guaranteed Times by Carriers and Related Reimbursements:

On some shipping services, like USPS Priority Express, the service provider (USPS, UPS, DHL etc) will offer a shipping reimbursement if the order does not arrive on time. ACUITY does not assume responsibility for tracking these matters. If you suspect your service may have a delivery-time guarantee and was delivered late, please contact us with the order # and delivery info. Please note that a full refund is typically not provided by the carrier. ACUITY does not offer full reimbursement of shipping costs, but ACUITY will pass on 100% of any reimbursement for shipping costs from the carrier to the customer.

Domestic Transit Times:

For orders shipping within the continental USA, USPS First Class shipments will usually take around 5-7 business days for delivery. USPS Priority usually takes closer to 2-4 business days, and Priority Express usually takes about 2 business days. Your exact transit time will vary based on your location. 

 

International Transit Times:

USPS First Class International shipping is very economical, but the transit time can be very slow. Please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery of orders shipped via USPS First Class International. USPS Priority mail is typically faster, normally taking closer to 2 weeks. USPS GXG is faster still, typically taking only about 1 week. Your exact transit times will vary depending on your location, and it is possible that your exact transit time will exceed the values provided here. For best results on international shipments, however, we recommend avoiding USPS options in favor of FedEx, UPS, or DHL shipping methods.

Warranty Requests

All ACUITY products are covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defect. Please keep a copy of your receipt as a proof of purchase when contacting ACUITY with a warranty request. Please do not ship back any merchandise without a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Contact ACUITY to receive an RMA number.

 

Returns

Customers are responsible for all return shipping charges. Please do not ship back any merchandise without a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

If the product has been removed from the original packaging, has not been installed in any way, and requires repackaging but is in 100% sale-able condition (to be determined by ACUITY) a restocking fee will be assessed in an amount equal to the greater of $5 or 10% of the cost of the product. ACUITY will not refund any shipping and handling fees related to a returned purchase. Valid proof of purchase must be provided to receive an RMA number. Any purchases made through one of ACUITY's vendor's are subject to that vendor's return policies. ACUITY cannot accept the return of an item purchased through a vendor without the consent of ACUITY and said vendor. Please Note: If 2 items were ordered and the order qualified for free shipping, but the return of 1 of the 2 items brings the new invoice amount (after your refund) below $100, the original cost of shipping will be debited from your refund, since the order would no longer be eligible for free shipping.

Three-way adjustable shifter best modification I've ever made to my car. Makes when you shift feel like a performance race car and you can dial it in however you like the gate throw in the height of your shifter. ACUITY shifters if it's the one way or three-way I highly recommend you won't be disappointed.
