WATCH THIS Before buying Your short shifter! Acuity Vs. Hybrid Racing Unboxing and Install 

The reason Hybrid doesn't bother with the locking mechanism is because they assume you will be using their 16-21 Type R shift cables which lock in with the same type of tabs as the trans side uses stock. I have the Acuity that I installed all titanium bolts on because I'm OCD and the BIGGEST change was the Hybrid shift cables. Kind of a PITA job but WOW what a difference! I have had 17-19 Type R, 20-21 Type R. Hybrid trans side bushings, Seeker base bushings on 20-21, Acuity rocker on 20-21 and Seeker short shift attachment on 17-19. Installing the Acuity was a HUGE upgrade, then installing the Hybrid cables was a big upgrade and finally installing the Hybrid shift detent springs was big too. The shift detent springs MIGHT be too heavy with the Acuity shifter for some but I like it. I run an NA2 NSX Type R titanium ball knob or Spoon sports flat top aluminum knob. This is in my 18 Type R and yes, there is quite a bit more NVH. My next upgrade is to try the Hybrid clutch master which they claim gets rid of a damper but I already removed the clutch delay valve from the stock Type R slave cylinder which was SUCH an improvement! The slave clutch delay valve is HORRIBLE!

The amount of connectors and sensors in the center console compared to my older Hondas is insane. I love the Acuity look

2 Options. Either you used the lotion to lube up the shift cable or You really did owe Cooper a favor for helping out.

great videos guys!.I can feel confident now when I get my acuity in and install.Good job !

this is a GREAT video, holy shit i wasn't expecting much out of ACUITY but damn, looks like im getting one for my Acura CLS6! i was totally going to go with the hybrid too (until i saw this)..

Props for showing people to use a torque wrench instead of just guessing at torques. :)

I been asking my mom for a car like yours but she said I'm not old enough I look up to you so much I wanna have honda jacket

Great video! Helped me install mine

me watching this after i installed my hybrid racing shirt shifter

I'm SO glad I have a RSX

I'm fairly confident you meant you're going "non bias"...... Not bias.

So running hybrid race cables with the acuity shifter for the 8th gen civic is a good setup?

Hey bro Tengo muy poca experiencia en esto y quiero saber a lo personal cuál crees que es mejor el hybrid o el Acuity?

menudo trabajo bro,en marcha como se siente ese cambio corto,tu crees k mejora el oem ?,a mi me parece k como viene oem es increible la verdad ,saludos desde españa

So which shifter do you prefer? I’m thinking in these two too.

Did you notice any increase in cabin noise for the hybrid short shifter?

fuck with the star laboratories hoodie! and sick honda jacket!

So static you preferred the Acuity, but what about on the road?

Sheeeesh

And I’m here watching knowing I wont be able to afford a new short shifter 😂

Hybrid has been doing Hondas for a long time. Go with Hybrid. Acuity isn't worth the extra money.
