Description

A Simple Mod You'll Enjoy on Every Drive:

This spring was designed to improve the centering action of your 10th Gen's stock shifter. If you've ever found the centering action of your shifter to leave you wanting a sportier feel, the solution is finally here. With a notably increased preload and nearly identical rate, the ACUITY Performance Shifter Centering Spring increases the centering load in neutral without significantly increasing the force required to locate the far gates (e.g. 1/2 and R). In addition, rubber sleeves on the spring help to reduce lateral play in-gear, further improving the overall feel of the shifter. The rubber sleeves have the added benefit of reducing noise from the shifter during centering. The end result is a sportier shifting feel without an increase in driver fatigue or a reduction in drivability. In addition to the Performance Shifter Centering Spring, each kit is supplied with a small packet of premium silicone grease to re-lubricate the shifter with after removing the OEM spring.

ACUITY recommends pairing the Performance Shifter Centering Spring with the 1914 Shifter Base Bushings. The combination makes for a surprisingly noticeable improvement in shifting at a very reasonable price.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire S. ★★★★★

The extra preload on this spring makes the shifter snap back into place way more decisively than the stock part—no more vague, sloppy throws. Installation was straightforward on my Civic, and the powder coating looks like it’ll hold up fine against winter salt.

Alexander ★★★★★

The heavier wire makes every shift into second feel way more deliberate, no more vague mushy gate. Rubber sleeves killed the rattling I used to hear on rough roads too. Installation took maybe twenty minutes with basic hand tools.

Sofia ★★★★★

Swapping this into my 10th gen Civic took about twenty minutes and the difference in shift feel was immediate. The increased preload makes every gear change snap into place instead of that vague mushy motion I'd gotten used to.
