Description

Shorter Throw, Less Play, Stiffer Feel:

Refining your Civic or Integra's shifting system is a great way to add a sporty feel that will put a smile on your face every time you go for a drive. The ACUITY Short Throw Adapter for the 11th Gen Honda Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra can be appreciated as much during street driving as at the track. This Short Throw Adapter reduces the mechanical advantage of the shift lever to deliver 20% shorter gear throws. 300 series stainless steel construction makes these Short Throw Adapters strong and highly corrosion resistant. Acuity's unique clamping design ensures the adapter will stay fastened, even with a modest amount of torque. 

By reducing the throw at the shifter, you are effectively reducing the play in the shifter cables by the same amount you are reducing the throw. When the throw is reduced at the transmission, the play from the cables remains the same while the throw is reduced. This is the primary motivation for Acuity's choice to design short throw adapters that affix to the shifter rather than the transmission.

To get the most refined experience from your OEM shifter, we recommend pairing this Short Throw Adapter with the ACUiTY Shifter Base Bushings (SKU 1914), ACUiTY Shifter Cable Bushings (SKU 1881), ACUiTY Shifter Centering Spring Upgrade (SKU 1988), and the ACUiTY Shifter Rocker Upgrade (SKU 1987).

Each kit includes an alcohol wipe so that the shift lever can be cleaned before installation. No grease is required when installing this product as the included PTFE pivot cap is self-lubricating. 7.5mm (0.3") thick spacers are also included to raise the height of the shifter slightly to help the short throw adapter clear the frame the shifter mounts to, and the included self-retaining washers help to keep the spacers in place during installation. Do not install the Short Throw Adapter without also installing these spacers, as omitting the spacers may result in interference between the moving parts of the shifter and the cast aluminum bracket the shifter mounts to.

What to expect:

Expect shifts to feel around 20% shorter and a bit more crisp. You may also notice that the shifter's longitudinal (forward or backward) motion has a bit less play.
