Thanks to leverage, the small amount of compliance the rubber adds equates to a very noticeable \"spongy\" feeling in the shift knob during shifts. This bushing kit replaces the OEM rubber bushings with rigid 6061-T651 aluminum making for a much more decisive shift, even with a stock shifter. As an added touch, the bushings are coated in a purple Type 2 anodized finished, laser-etched and paired with class 12.9 flat-head mounting bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1884 Shifter Base Bushings are intended for use with OEM shifters for the RSX and 9th Gen Civic only, and are NOT compatible with ACUiTY's RSX Shifters (SKUs 1937-2W and SKU 1937-4W) or ACUiTY's 9th Gen Civic Shifter (SKU 1880).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFitment\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'01-'05 HONDA Civic (non-Si mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'02-'06 ACURA RSX (all mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'04-'14 ACURA TSX (all mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'12-'15 HONDA Civic (all mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eContents\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(4) Upper bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(4) Lower bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(4) Class 12.9 mounting bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eInstall Guide\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/acuityinstruments.com\/pages\/install-guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to access all of ACUiTY's install guide PDFs and install guide videos for this product and many others. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"ACUITY Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30298397324,"sku":"1884","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1186\/7718\/products\/acuity_1884_shifter_base_bushings_2.jpg?v=1750176191"},{"product_id":"1917-shifter-cable-bushing-upgrade","title":"1917 SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING UPGRADE (for various 2006 and earlier applications)","description":"\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSKU: 1917\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-Ring Loaded Design Wear-Compensates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpherical Design decreases resistance in shifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Construction provides a stiffer feel than the OEM Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all stainless steel hardware to avoid corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDescription\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eBad news: your OEM bushings suck. Honda and Acura intentionally make their rubber shifter cable bushings very compliant in an effort to give the car a more tame feel. For many drivers, that's ideal. Unfortunately, this disconnects the driver from feeling the transmission during shifts, often leading to missed shifts or slow shifting in racing conditions. A less compliant plastic or metal bushing is the ideal solution, but without a spherical bearing, the bushing will cause the cables to bind and fatigue. That's why ACUITY has designed this kit with a custom acetal and aluminum spherical bushing. Also unlike most bushings on the market, ACUITY's design incorporates elastomer rings to provide the best fit possible with your cables. Experience a solid, smooth shift that will make you fall in love with your car again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding the Science of that Perfect Shift Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eYears of experience have taught the engineers at ACUITY that there are many elements to a refined, responsive shift. Compliance from flimsy components in the shift linkage leaves the driver feeling detached from the transmission. ACUITY combats this by replacing the OEM rubber bushings with much stiffer Acetal and 6061-T6 Aluminum. A large-diameter, custom spherical bearing minimizes long-term wear and tear while eliminating the binding that is caused by most aftermarket solid shifter cable bushings. Loose-fitting components also contribute to a poor shifting feel. That's why ACUITY uses integral o-rings on the outside of each bushing to provide a perfect fit with your OEM cables. Tested on street cars, track cars, and ACUITY's unreasonably violent shifter testing machine, these bushings are designed to be robust and proven to last. Each bushing kit is laser etched with a unique serial number and includes stainless steel hardware to help prevent long-term corrosion, keeping your bushings looking great even longer. And if all of that isn't impressive enough, the bushings are over 20% lighter than their OEM counterparts, weighing in at only 48 grams (with hardware).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFitment\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2001-2005 HONDA Civic Coupe (EM) and Sedan (ES) (MT Only)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002-2005 HONDA Civic Si\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002-2006 ACURA RSX (MT Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002-2006 ACURA RSX-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003-2007 HONDA Accord (7th Gen, all MT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003-2008 HONDA Element (all MT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004-2008 ACURA TSX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2006 HONDA Civic (MT Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2006 HONDA Civic Si\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eContents\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Spherical gear change cable bushing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Solid gate change cable bushing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Hardware bag including (1) single turn retaining ring, (1) 2-turn retaining ring, and (2) cotter pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eInstall Tips\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's a quick guide we made with tips on how to remove the stock rubber bushings properly, with additional tips on retaining ring installation:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uZz1yVgwez8\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eInstall Guide\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/acuityinstruments.com\/pages\/install-guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to access all of ACUiTY's install guide PDFs and install guide videos for this product and many others. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"ACUITY Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43359844812,"sku":"1917","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1186\/7718\/products\/1917_04.jpg?v=1750176182"}],"url":"https:\/\/acuityinstruments.com\/collections\/stage-1-shift-kit-for-the-7th-gen-civic-coupe-em-es-base-model-rsx\/sensors-related.oembed","provider":"ACUITY Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
