ACUITY Prototype 10th-gen Shifter - My review

Installed mine Friday night. HUGE difference for the better! Feels much more connected now!

It's Lit

Need to hop on this asap

Nope, no group buys on this one. We're accepting back-orders and should be restocked in the next few weeks.

And it's absolutely worth the wait. This shifter is incredible and, if you don't like the way it feels, you can just make the necessary adjustments to get the position and leverage you want. The only trouble is that the factory shift knob suddenly feels like a tiny toy when some real resistance is underneath it. But there are worse problems in life than hunting for a shift knob that perfectly suits your car.

i agree. I been running their shifter since the 9th gen si days

I am using a heavier than stock shift knob and felt better to me than the lightness of the stock one.

Can the centering spring on the full Acuity shifter be swapped with the stand-alone spring upgrade from stage 2?

AFAIK, that isn't possible.

Will be buying stage 2 kit next re-stock

I have mines and @bouford shifter assemblies set at everything shortened (height, throw, and gate spacing) we both had the acuity base bushings, gate arm, and spring upgrades done to our oem shifter assemblies as well as the cable linkage bushings installed but this full acuity shifter upgrade takes your driving experience to another level! Definitely worth the wait and money. Here’s what they look like side by side with the oem assembly with acuity upgrades. Shifting feels more directly connected and crisp like our S2Ks

PSA: shifters now back in stock, although the full stage 3 kits are not as the ESCO knobs have not been restocked yet AFAIK.

Glad you're digging it! It's funny how people love to use the S2k as the benchmark for shifting (I hear this often, actually!). Thanks for the love!

That's all accurate. We have a very limited supply of our classic Esco design, but you have to contact us to have one put on order. We'll have some aluminum Esco variants available in stage 3 kits in coming weeks and then a new version of the classic insulated Esco in new colors (hopefully) later this year (R&D has wound up taking longer than expected, as we'd originally planned to launch them much sooner).
