Acuity Instrument's Short Shifter

[Phenom3030]

I’ve had hybrid detent springs for 15,000 miles now and love them.

Debating on whether to keep them on or swap to OEM when I install my Acuity short shifter.

Have not read about to many people running Hybrid detent springs and the Acuity short shifter.

I put in the Hybrid springs after I installed Acuity's Stage 2 components. And I've appreciated the even more direct feel when changing gears as well as the more pronounced return to center force. The initial post relaying Acuity's view had me concerned. So I reached out. Now I'm not as concerned.

I appreciate your research sir! Makes me feel better too!

With the Acuity adjustable short shifter assembly I do not think the detent springs are needed and would probably say to go back to OEM, but if you used something like their Stage 2 kit with the upgraded parts for the OEM shifter the detent springs can be helpful.

Probably something to try out when you get it installed. Can always easily change the detent springs out if its not to your liking.

@ashmostro over on the Integra forums had this to say:

Decided to give the Hybrid Racing transmission detent springs another chance, with a catch.

Previously, I tried out installing just the lateral spring to tighten up the side to side slop and didn't like it. All it did was make the diagonal shifts feel less fluid.

Today, I tried out just installing the longitudinal spring as I've been feeling like I want a bit more initial resistance when going into gear, and then a more pronounced click once fully engaged.

The single spring accomplished exactly that! Each mod I've made to the car has incrementally made it more joyful to drive. I'm happy with this one!

I learned of a 4th shifter option from WK Motorsport. I think it's a Hong Kong company. I learned about this from UpGarage's IG post.

You should share a link. Would be interesting to see another option.

Out of curiosity, I looked into this, but it amazed me how people post parts or something and don’t share anything other than a name, being very vague on all the details, like they’re keeping everything a secret. Maybe it’s just my way of thinking, but it makes me feel like this platform is toxic—or maybe I’m the one who is toxic and doesn’t adapt to the times. The car community as a whole is surrounded by so much ego and toxic behavior, and that’s one of the reasons I got away from social media, but it’s everywhere. Sorry for the rant; maybe I just see things differently, and now someone will get offended, and I’ll be the one getting the penalty.

OK, my mistake. I did it wrong, but my sentiment is still the same regardless. Thank you for clarifying what you did.

Thanks for sharing. It looks pretty beefy and the price isn't too expensive also. I wonder if anyone has tried it and how the fit and finish is?

I have reached out to them to see if they are able to send me a unit to do a review on. I will keep you in the loop once they respond.

Just installed mine today, and my only hiccup was unplugging some of the connectors, the actual mechanical disconnecting/reconnecting of the cables was IMO easy. I took time to vacuum around the tunnel since I dont normally see that part of the carpet lol.

I set the throw to the shortest and the gate to the most narrow option and the shift height to 3. Ive been using a titanium shift knob from Alplus and I love the height. I am excited to not have long AF throws now lol. After a test drive today I love this thing.
