Description

Bad news: your OEM bushings suck. Honda and Acura intentionally make their rubber shifter cable bushings very compliant in an effort to give the car a more tame feel. For many drivers, that's ideal. Unfortunately, this disconnects the driver from feeling the transmission during shifts, often leading to missed shifts or slow shifting in racing conditions. A less compliant plastic or metal bushing is the ideal solution, but without a spherical bearing, the bushing will cause the cables to bind and fatigue. That's why ACUITY has designed this kit with a custom acetal and aluminum spherical bushing. Also unlike most bushings on the market, ACUITY's design incorporates elastomer rings to provide the best fit possible with your cables. Experience a solid, smooth shift that will make you fall in love with your car again.

Understanding the Science of that Perfect Shift Feel:

Years of experience have taught the engineers at ACUITY that there are many elements to a refined, responsive shift. Compliance from flimsy components in the shift linkage leaves the driver feeling detached from the transmission. ACUITY combats this by replacing the OEM rubber bushings with much stiffer Acetal and 6061-T6 Aluminum. A large-diameter, custom spherical bearing minimizes long-term wear and tear while eliminating the binding that is caused by most aftermarket solid shifter cable bushings. Loose-fitting components also contribute to a poor shifting feel. That's why ACUITY uses integral o-rings on the outside of each bushing to provide a perfect fit with your OEM cables. Tested on street cars, track cars, and ACUITY's unreasonably violent shifter testing machine, these bushings are designed to be robust and proven to last. Each bushing kit is laser etched with a unique serial number and includes stainless steel hardware to help prevent long-term corrosion, keeping your bushings looking great even longer. And if all of that isn't impressive enough, the bushings are over 20% lighter than their OEM counterparts, weighing in at only 48 grams (with hardware).

Perfect for 02 ep3

Should have come from the factory with this. Super east install. Remove airbox/tube and you can easily access the area. Gears feel more gated with less play. Paired with short throw and the transmission springs it's Night and day.

Awesome!

Didn't do as much as I had hoped it wild for fixing my shifting issues, but I think my cables are stretched. But these definitely made a noticeable difference and till immediately see the how worn out the oem ones when you take them out and compare them to these. Highly recommend

Fits 04-08 Acura TL 6MT

High quality , put it on my 04 6MT Acura TL, doesn’t feel to much different then stock just a little smoother , but my oem shifter bushings were in good shape still , if your shifter bushings are rough I highly recommend these bushings. Also these pair really nice with a short shifter

05 rsx type s, it's okay.

I heard and read quite a few good reviews on it and thought, why not try it out. I have an 05 rsx-s with mileage around 138k-ish. Car was gifted to me, so not sure if stock bushing was ever replaced but did find a missing pin lock on big bushing. Stock bushings, when shifting, felt soft and smooth, but with the acuity bushings, it now feels a tad bit, just a bit stiffer when shifting. Not much of an upgrade, imo, but I've only just installed it and took it for a test drive for 10 minutes. I suppose it depends on whether one likes a stiffer shifting, I for one don't mind, so no regrets.

Feel those gears!

Helped a lot with the rubbery shift feel. Kind of expensive. Wasn't listed as fitting my 02 CRV but did
