How do you guys like the acuity short shifter for daily driving? I want one, but Im worried that it might get tiresome. I commute about 70 miles a day, but it is mostly highway.

Also, @blackie X is that a 27won shift knob? If so, I totally get why you cut that rod, that knob is pretty tall. I have one on my SI right now, and I definitely want to lower it because it sits way higher than stock. How do you like your setup?
so far i like the acuity shifter, it is a bit stiff right now but others have stated the spring looses with more use. i dont think you would get tiresome if most of your commute is highway. the gears are relatively easy to shift into, the hardest ones so far that take the most effort are getting to 5th and reverse. That is the 27won shift knob, and the exact reason why i cut the bottom of the ROD. the height now with that shifter makes shifting so much fun in this car.

Today after i got new tires and my misimoto braided clutch line in i backed my passenger side mirror into the side of my garage and busted the mirror up good, luckily the camera is fine so hopefully i can get it fixed for under $300. i just nipped the outside edge before the garage opens up more it sucks bad, but at least its just a mirror and not any car damage.

I installed the 2020 shifter about a month ago but took it off recently. Mostly because I ordered another shift knob that required more thread. But... I felt my 2017 CTR shifter with the acuity add ons felt better. I did install the 2020 as is without any acuity parts besides the base bushings. It did feel good and better than an 17 OEM CTR shifter. Might try again in the future with the acuity rocker arm.

All you added was the acuity arm?
All I added was the acuity shifter base bushings and brass bushing to replace the shifter rod bushing on the bottom. I tried to add the rocker arm but it was too stiff for the shifter.

If anyone is looking to go from the Acuity shifter to the Hybrid Racing in Red, hit me up. I miss my acuity shifter, it was much more versatile in my opinion.

there is no better upgrade for this car than the acuity shifter, i cant say enough good things about this shifter. My fiancé even told me its the best upgrade I've done to much car to date! Yes I let my lady drive my Si whenever she wants to, I taught her how to drive stick in case I'm ever over served. THIS IS FOR SURE A MUST BUY! if you want the best shifting experience in your car don't hesitate ACUITY knocked it out of the park.
