Description

Narrower Gates, 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 Shifter Rocker Upgrade for the 11th Gen Honda Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra can be appreciated as much during street driving as at the track. Altered geometry reduces the mechanical advantage of the rocker to provide 10% narrower gates and a stiffer shift feel in the lateral (left/right) direction. Much like how a short throw adapter reduces the distance in the longitudinal (forward and reverse) direction while changing gears, this Shifter Rocker Upgrade reduces the distance in the lateral (left and right) direction while changing gates (shifts between gears 2/3 or 4/5). 6061 aluminum is used in place of the OEM plastic, meaning less flex when shifting forcefully and better feedback from the transmission during shifts. The rocker’s main pivot uses a precision bronze bushing to reduce play and friction. ACUITY’s unique patent-pending spherical joint design incorporates low-friction, self-lubricating bushings that reduce friction while naturally eliminating play in the joint. This allows the joint to wear-compensate over time, meaning the rocker will age gracefully and provide many years of use, abuse, and happy shifting. Also included with each kit is a packet of premium grease and 2 retaining rings needed for installation.

To get the most refined experience from your OEM shifter, we recommend pairing this Shifter Rocker Upgrade with the ACUiTY Shifter Base Bushings (SKU 1914), ACUiTY Shifter Cable Bushings (SKU 1881), ACUiTY Shifter Centering Spring Upgrade (SKU 1988), and the ACUiTY Short Throw Adapter (SKU 1983).

A packet of grease is included with each kit to help lubricate certain areas during installation. Please refer to the install guide for lubrication points.

What to expect:

On the 11th Gen Honda Civic and 5th Gen Acura Integra, this Shifter Rocker Upgrade will reduce gate spacing by approximately 10% and will stiffen the lateral action of the shifter. Additionally, when moving the shifter in the lateral (left or right) directions, you should notice less play and less compliance (sponginess).

Below is an illustration of how the gate spacing changes after installation. Note that the spacing change is exaggerated in the image to make the effect clear.

Approximate Gate Spacing Change:

• 2022+ 11th Gen Honda Civic (all trims with MT): 10% reduction in gate spacing
