Hey guys! We're excited to introduce this new addition to our product line: the ACUITY Performance Shifter Centering Spring for the 10th Gen Civic. It's compatible with the CTR, Si, and even the Sport. It provides a 20% increase in centering spring load on the CTR and Si and a very impressive 100% increase in centering load on the Sport models. If you find the Sport to have a shifter that feels anything but sporty, this disparity in centering force is part of the reason why. This is a quick and easy way to solve that issue.

Enough of my rambling, I give you photos and the official pitch:

A SIMPLE MOD YOU'LL ENJOY ON EVERY DRIVE:
This spring was designed to improve the centering action of your 10th Gen's stock shifter. If you've ever found the centering action of your shifter to leave you wanting a sportier feel, the solution is finally here. With a notably increased preload and nearly identical rate, the ACUITY Performance Shifter Centering Spring increases the centering load in neutral without significantly increasing the force required to locate the far gates (e.g. 1/2 and R). The end result is a sportier shifting feel without an increase in driver fatigue or a reduction in drivability. You can expect a 100% increase in centering force on the Sport model and a 20% increase in centering force on the Si and CTR. In addition to the Performance Shifter Centering Spring, each kit is supplied with a small packet of premium silicone grease to re-lubricate the shifter with after removing the OEM spring.

These are a great item to include when installing the 1914 Shifter Base Bushings. The combination makes for a surprisingly noticeable improvement in shifting.

Fitment:
  • 2016-2017 Honda Civic (6mt only)
  • 2016-2017 Honda Civic Si
  • 2017+ Civic Type R
You can purchase these through our site here: Performance Shifter Centering Spring at ACUITYinstruments.com

Price is $24

Did you have to use the packet of grease that came with the shifter spring?

It's not mandatory, but the grease we supply does really well to reduce friction between plastic/plastic and metal/plastic sliding interfaces, so putting a little bit on the spring where it slides over or contacts the shifter does help to get friction down a touch. We've run without it with no issues though.
