Better than OEM?? 🤯 This side-by-side shows just how different an upgraded shifter can feel compared with the factory setup.

The demo compares the OEM shifter from a 10th-generation Honda Civic Si with ACUITY’s fully adjustable performance short shifter.

On the Civic Si, ACUITY says the system can reduce shift throw by roughly 24% to 52% depending on adjustment.

Gate spacing can also be tightened by approximately 2% to 37%, creating a shorter and more precise movement between gears.

The upgraded assembly uses a stiffer aluminum and stainless-steel structure, adjustable knob height and a redesigned centering mechanism to deliver a more direct mechanical feel.

For drivers who love a manual transmission, changes this small can completely transform how connected the car feels.

Would you upgrade the shifter or keep the OEM setup?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
