SKU: 1923 Approximately 25% reduction in throw 300 series stainless steel construction Unique grip design uses special nuts to stay affixed Supplied with grease and alcohol wipe for ease of installation Description Shorter Throw, Less Play, Stiffer Feel: Refining your Civic or Accord'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 can be appreciated as much during street driving as at the track. The Short Throw Adapter reduces the mechanical advantage of the shifter to provide shorter, stiffer gear throws. The extender is turned and milled from 300 series stainless steel, making it strong and extremely corrosion resistant. Acuity's unique clamping design ensures the extender will stay fastened, even with a modest amount of torque. This pairs very well with Acuity's Shifter Base Bushings (1914), Shifter Centering Spring Upgrade (1918), and Shifter Rocker Upgrade (1922). By reducing the throw at the shifter, you are effectively reducing the play in the shifter cables by the same amount you are reducing throw. When the throw is reduced at the transmission, the play from the cables remains the same while the throw is reduced. This was the primary motivation for Acuity's choice to make a short throw adapter that fits to the shifter. Each kit includes an alcohol wipe and grease packet so the spherical joint can be cleaned and re-greased before installation.

Bonus Content Shifter-mounted short-throw adapters, regardless of brand, tend to cause the shifter to make a slight "click" noise when engaging even gears and reverse. This is primarily true of the 10th Gen Civics; we haven't noticed this as much in the 10th Gen Accords. There are pricey solutions to this that can be bought, but here is a simple, cost-effective solution to this that involves the drilling of the stock plastic shifter and installation of two zip ties. The video detailing the source of the noise and the solution is below. Skipping this step will not cause problems other than a possible audible click during shifts into even gears. This solution will also work with any other brand of short shift adapter for the 10th Civic that mounts to the shifter itself.
