i installed it last friday, I don't have much driving time on it yet but my current setting is:
Throw - 5, might make it 3 or 4 idk.
Gate spacing - 2
Knob height - 1

the centering springs are gonna need some getting used to because it is much stiffer. That was to be expected though cause my 9th gen SI one was the same. I had their shifter on my 9th gen SI so it was everything I already expected it to be.

Other than that, it's great. Just make sure to set the gate spacing to your liking before reinstalling all the plastics because i don't think you can get to them without removing the center console.

I saw a few how to videos when looking up how to install my short shifter. I'll tell you...get ready to remove a lot, lol...more than I've ever had to remove from a honda, lol.

I'd link you to some, but I looked at various ones...none I really liked. This one, for instance, about made me sick with him moving the camera around like crazy lol :eek:


Overall, it's definitely not difficult to take apart all the panels, etc...just might feel time consuming your first time.
When I finished putting in my buddy club, I put all the panels back...then saw a cable hanging down below...lol...I forgot to connect this LED that connects to the front underside panels...luckily it was quicker the 2nd time around taking the panels off.

I installed mine last week along with the shifter cable bushing on the transmission. I could not be happier with the result. It feels better than a rod-based transmission now IMO. Super solid and a true gated feel. Exactly what I was looking for. Needless to say Acuity knocked it out of the park with this one.

What settings did you decide to use?

Height i am 2 notches up from the bottom, front to rear spacing is set one notch up from the bottom and side to side gate spacing is right in the middle. I definitely need a weighted knob after this to complete the feel. The stock one is definitely too light
