My bad to get back on track. You didn’t happen to get any side by side shots of the stock shifter and the buddy club one

**probably need to start a comparison thread for all options out there

Oh no sorry...as in before install...no.

Curious what's the difference between the type r shifter and the one for say an SI

This is a good question since you would think a complete shifter would be interchangeable across the civic platforms. Maybe they did it to see what the buyer demographic looks like.
Or they made they wanted the Type R one to have a shorter throw than the other models.

considering the shifter is interchangeable like bbdave said it is hard to say. Only thing i can see that can be different is the centering spring or the shifter bushing?

Forgive my ignorance but why go for a $200 kit when you can get a 25-30% reduction in throw from any of the short shift adapters out there for $70.

Those do not work on CTRs
They cause it to be have too much angle on the shift cable.
There is one by boomba for the transmission side, but I wouldn’t get that either.
A full shifter not only changes throw, but also gate spacing and centering action. Maybe @02SilverSiHB can share his thoughts on the later two

**yes you can change the other stuff with other shifting upgrades, but a full shifter is one unit that takes care of it all

Can you explain further? The media on the Alta adapter page is all photos of the Type R shifter. It says under their specification page that there's a 22% reduction in throw for 2017+ Type R applications.

because I don't like adapters. I like full assemblies. Why would you go with an adapter...no need to answer, but you get where I'm going...but probably not.

this explains why the adapter causes more angle

They make two separate ones for the type r and the other civic models.
Same for acuity. My guess is either they're taking us all for a ride, or there is a slight difference in maybe how the full assembly bolts down at the bottom...maybe...

Correction Acuity offers one full shifter for all 10th gen models. Their stage 2 kits (component combo) differ in that one has the short throw extension (Type R doesn’t support it)

acuitys full shifter is for all civic models. it's not CTR specific.

this explains why the adapter causes more angle

Nice vid. I honestly can't tell the difference in the non type r versus the type r shifter

acuitys full shifter is for all civic models. it's not CTR specific.

guess I was thinking of what @bbdave mentioned above.
