How do you like them :)
You will notice a small difference. So I went ahead and got the stage 2. Go ahead and get the stage 2 and you will love it

Hey all. Just FYI, all 10th Gen linkage bushings are identical across all models with manual transmissions. So yes, they'll fit. :)

Reviving an old thread. I just put the Acuity shifter bushings in my 2016 LX 2.0 MT.
Very easy to install on the 2.0, took a leisurely 20 minutes.
A few observations:
I took the battery out as instructed in the video, but you can also gain access by taking out the air cleaner box, but the battery is easier.
I found I did not need to remove the shifter cable bracket hold-down clips.
To remove the old bushings, I first removed the plastic bushing inserts.
To make removing the factory rubber bushings easier, I gave them a squirt of WD-40.
I short flat blade screwdriver worked to pry out the bushings.
I cleaned off remnants of hardened factory grease from the shifter arms and shafts.
I know Delrin is self-lubricating, but I put a tiny dab of high-temperature grease on the flat part of the shifter arms.
I used graphite to lube the shafts and the purple pivot ball in the large bushing. Much smoother!
I liked the locking design of the Honda bushing clips better, so I reused them.
Took a short trip around the area.
Minor improvement in smoothness and a move positive feel. You can actually feel the detents and get a little more feedback from synchros now.
