ACUITY Instruments Short Throw Adapter for the 10th Gen Civic/Accord

This product blew away my expectations. I coupled this with the Acuity centering spring and mount bushings. Literally a night and day improvement. Shifts are very solid and highly tactile. And the throws are MUCH shorter. Installation was a breeze. Customer service is impeccable ! I’m a mechanical engineer and I’m extremely impressed !!!

Love it acuity is the best a lot have all their products

Nice

My car is a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 6 speed manual. The install instructions were great. The only complaint there is details on how much movement it should have once it is attached to the bushing. Driving with it for the past two months my opinion of it is that it is great if you want to drive your car like a race car jamming gears, but leisurely daily driving for my commute it can fight me at times getting into some gears. I installed their rocker first and foremost and that alone brought my car to the way I believe Honda should of sold it stock. It made it feel effortless to get to upper gears. If you want to go this route I suggest just replacing the whole shifter rather that adding an adapter, or replace the rocker alone.

Getting the car I noticed the throws were long and it felt spongy. Nothing crazy, it was just Honda's way of making the manual as ergonomic as possible, but I wanted something more sporty and the throws shorter. As a side note, I'm 5ft 5in and getting into 5th gear required me to lean! Even with all the adjustments I could do with my chair, 5th gear was too far away cuz of my short arms.Install:Moderate difficulty. At first you feel like you're destroying your car, but the website gives you EXCELLENT step by step colored instructions for the accord and civic. I followed it exactly and got done in about 2 hours, I had interior trim tools and I recommend them for this job. I think a beginner can do it. I would allocate 3 hours of your day to be safe.Results:The shifting experience changes drastically. Your shifts are shorter but pushing into the gears is HARDER. Its time to hit the gym because the effort to push into your gates is about 2x the effort compared to made-for-grandma shifting. So far I'm actually slower to engage my gears because of the effort, then again I haven't been to the gym for years. Planning on adding an aftermarket shifter that may help.I would recommend seeing that its the only way to shorten your shifts so far other than buying the 480$ shifting assembly. This is worth the 100$ I spent.
