Much Needed Refinement for the OEM Shifter
The OEM base bushings on most Hondas and Acuras are made from highly compliant rubber. Thanks to leverage, the small amount of compliance the rubber adds equates to a very noticeable "spongy" feeling in the shift knob during shifts. This bushing kit replaces the OEM rubber bushings with rigid 6061-T651 aluminum making for a much more decisive shift, even with a stock shifter. As an added touch, the bushings are coated in a purple Type 2 anodized finished, laser-etched and paired with class 12.9 flat-head mounting bolts.

Features

• Reduces compliance by replacing the OEM rubber bushings with solid aluminum
• Includes (4) upper bushings, (4) lower bushings, and (4) class 12.9 mounting bolts
• Purple anodized finish
• Laser-etched acuity logos

Fitment
2006-2011 Honda Civic (all Manual Transmission)

  Installed for my 8th gen civic si

  It takes away a little bit of sponginess. It isn't very noticable. It doesn't change that much when compared to the shifter cable bushings. But I am glad I made this purchase.

• Look cool

  Bought these based on someone’s review. After installing I’m not sure exactly what they do as I don’t feel any difference. They hold the shifter base down. For thirty bucks what the hell they look cool and it feels like an upgrade but I don’t think they do much.

• Bushings

  I haven’t really noticed a difference in my shifting. I would suggest if your going to install theses I would also install the bushings on the shifter cables under your air filter

• 8th gen si upgrade

  If you have an 8th gen si 07-2011 it’s a must have upgrade. Easy install 45 min tops.

Replaced the old to this and.... felt like nothing was new. Unless you are getting the whole Acuity shii then dont expect much.

These bushings in addition to selector bushings and amsoil synchromesh completely changed the shifting feel of my '07 Si. I would recommend these to anyone that has a Civic. The only downside is it's easy to drop the little pieces and have to chase them down. They're made of aluminum so you can't get them with a magnet. I made the mistake of dropping one of the bottom pieces and ended up chasing it around for 30 mins. Had to pull one of the seats and some of the carpet up and even then it was hard to get as it went under a heater vent that runs to the back footwells. Just be careful to not drop them or you will end up making a 10 min job into a 45-60 min job.

These base bushing have helped tighten up my shifter. Each shift feels more precise and not as muddy as before. The installation was a little tricky, as I had never opened the center console before. I strongly suggest you fully unbolt the center console and move it back several inches. Taking off the shift boot alone does not leave a lot of room to work, especially if you have larger hands. Once I opened up the center console fully, I was able to easily install all the bushings, and even pick up pieces from the old bushings I accidentally dropped. Overall, easy modification that makes a noticeable improvement in the driving experience

Install was very easy and straight forward. The bushings feel VERY high quality. There is no impact to daily driving (when I double clutch there's no difference), but when I shift harder there's a lot more precise and notchy feeling. It feels amazing!

LOOK TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD TO GET AN 06 SI TRANSMISSION REBUILT BUY THE ACUITY BASE ALUMINUM BUSHINGS & YOU'LL SEE AN IMPROVEMENT. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY SHIFT CABLE BUSHINGS TO ARRIVE I'M SURE THE CAR WILL SHIFT EVEN BETTER. ALL CARS HAVE THEIR DETAILS THE SI SHIFTER REQUIRES THESE BASIC UPGRADES
