Category: Automotive Parts and Accessories
SKU: 1981-S01
- Designed to reduce the centering force on 1981 shifters for a gentler centering action
- 15% less centering preload than the spring supplied with 1981-LHD and 1981-RHD shifters
- Zinc-plated for corrosion resistance
- Rubber spring sleeves reduce unwanted noise during shifts
Description
If you’re looking for yet another way to personalize your 1981-LHD or 1981-RHD shifters for the 11th Gen Civic and 5th Gen Integra, our spring upgrades are a great way to do it. This spring has approximately 15% less centering preload than the spring our 1981 shifters are equipped with from the factory. If you find the centering force on your 1981 shifter to be a little stiffer than you’d like, this spring upgrade may be a good option for you. Like the spring it replaces, this version is zinc coated for corrosion resistance and features padded spring sleeves for quiet, reliable operation.
If you’re instead looking for a spring that provides a higher preload and snappier centering than what the shifter came equipped with, consider instead opting for SKU 1981-S03 which has a 15% higher preload than the spring equipped to 1981 shifters.
Note: For use with 1981-LHD and 1981-RHD shifters only. Not compatible with OEM shifters
What to Expect
Expect a modest but noticeable decrease in centering force, around 15% less than the spring your 1981 shifter came equipped with. Your shifter will still center effectively on its own, but you’ll have to exert less force to reach the far left or right gears like 1,2, 5, 6, and R.
