I read your post before I bought and installed mine and was worried about it not reducing the shift to my liking, so I bought the Acuity adapter, spring and arm. I am amazed at the results. none of the pieces at plastic, all steel or aluminum.The shift knob definitely sits lower.
Maybe it's just me (I know it's only supposed to be a 14% reduction in throws.) but the throws don't feel much shorter if at all.
I'm wondering if the short shift adapter for the transmission side that boomba offers for the regular civicX would fit the type r.
I'm not trying to get to a microscopic level, but I'm only noticing the acuity parts so far (transmission cable bushings, shorter rocker arm, centering spring, and base bushings)
Also a side note, I noticed that the boomba shifter is assembled as a ball that has a nipple, and the threaded rod seems to pass through the ball and is held in place by a bolt clamping it in place. I'm curious if that means its adjustable, or if the threaded rod has an indentation for that bolt meaning non adjustable. @Boomba Racing
All that aside I'd rather have the boomba shifter if for nothing else but the fact that it's all metal, and no more half plastic half metal OEM shifter!
*edit* added a picture of the shifter with the bolt in question for possible adjustability. You can see it on top of the ball.
