Looks great! Where did you order from? I don't want to order from a place that had an issue with the 2019 mix ups. Im also wondering if this will work with the height of the Mugen shifter as that is what I am upgrading to with the Mugen Carbon knob and J's Racing boot collar. Thanks!The correct shift boot came in!!!

Does the actual shifter assembly work with the 17-19 type R’sReplaced my Sweidit shift boot with the 2020 shift boot. Using Hybrid Racing shifter.
Yes, completely interchangeableDoes the actual shifter assembly work with the 17-19 type R’s
how do you like the Hybrid shifter?Replaced my Sweidit shift boot with the 2020 shift boot. Using Hybrid Racing shifter.
It's definitely an upgrade over OEM, coming from it with the Acuity upgrades. It's smooth. Sometimes but rarely, due to the narrow gate spacing, I will misshift going into 4th. It never did this with the OEM shifter. I just ordered the stiffer spring from HR, which I read will prevent this.how do you like the Hybrid shifter?
good to know! I went for a cruise over the weekend and met up with some folks, one guy had the HR short shift and he let me get a feel for it while parked, it is incredibly short and can see how that would happen. I did order the short shifter and a new knob (because why not? lol) and I may have to look into the stiffer spring before the items arrive so I don't have to take it apart again.

2019 RHD uk spec car:Hi, anyone knows if the RHD lever assembly is the same part number?
Yes, same reason why a Mugen shifter from Japan will not work for LHD. Mugen specifically made a LHD short shifter and only distributed by King Motorsports (official North America Mugen distributer). It's all in the bend.2019 RHD uk spec car:
Having just finished installing the shifter assembly after 2 month wait for part from America, I can confirm that the shifter assembly part number listed above doesn’t work with our cars, as the shifter rod is curved excessively to the left hand side and when reinstalling the centre console it rubs on the left edge of the console/shift boot rendering 1/2nd gear un-engageable. Wish I knew this before, alas, I suppose I will await the official update to our UK 2020/2021 models as the shifting was nice and short. For confirmation, the Alcantara shift boot, shift knob and locking nut listed above however do work with our cars.
I hope I am able to save someone else with a UK spec car the hassle.
Funny how the car is made here but we’re the last customer base considered when they update it ie. 2019 radio knobs, climate buttons, Alcantara wheel, updated shifter and boot. Oh well.
