No.. i adjusted it to the center.. but it swivel to left after 2-3 days...
And then i reset it.. and it happens again.
I basically gave up on it... hybrid racing sent me a new replacement parts.. but i wilk switch to acuity.. already bought it.. wait for it to arrive.
They sent you new parts and you're not even going to try them?
Would be nice for quite a lot of people if you could install the replacement parts and let us know how they are.

Lol I honestly think you just didn't install it properly. Have fun with Acuity lol. A lot of folks hate how it's too stiff.
I didnt even install it.. i paid a professional to do it for me.. he did most of the 10th gen civic mod in toronto.. there is no way it is the installation problem..
And honestly, the mechanism is very straight forward... it is hard to go wrong.. i just lazy to take apart the central console...

I have acuity for my sport hatch already and i like it.
I bought hybrid racing for my type r because i want to compare which one i like better..

It is very personal, i am not saying acuity is better than hybrid..

I will replace the parts and use it a week or so..
I am sure it will solve the issue..it just i already bought acuity .. i have it in my sport hatch and i like it stiff.
Hybrid racing super stiff spring is not as stiff and it is suitable for many ppl for daily...

You are probably too off centered. Your knob should be towards the middle in the shift boot. I mean I removed my boot just to check how each gear is from the console
And that picture i shown is when it is in 2nd gear... i reset it so it is more center and over 2-3 days, it goes to left again..
I tight that bolt alot already.. it is weird

Yeah I am confident you didn’t tighten it enough or just overtightened it. Mine did that first time installing and just tightened it again and made sure the knob and locknut was tightened properly too. If your knob and locknut aren’t on properly it will move the rod

You have their new stiffer spring? Originally when you bought the shifter it has a stiff spring already in it and a soft spring. They just added another spring recently

Yes. I got mine in jan so it was shipped with super stiff. And it is still soft for my taste..
The hr shift is very smooth though.. it is shifting through butter

I installed their upgraded spring. Makes the shifter feels much more stiffer. Honestly best way to describe it is buttery smooth. It helped the shifter a lot. I’ve installed and compared to acuity and with the upgraded hybrid spring I feel like it’s better than acuity

Not necessarily - like I said I had the same problem and a replacement part from Hybrid fixed it.

OP - if they sent a new offset then you might as well give it a shot because it takes 1 minute to swap it, while changing the whole shifter to another one is a longer job.

I concur, the third upgraded spring is a must.

Honda Civic 10th gen Hybrid racing short shifter problem 4AA20D20-547E-47C1-BF74-E2CD16B479AE

here is a comparison of the new springs to what came with the HR shifter. Left is what came with and Right is the new stiffer spring. But yes post Jan SHOULD have came with the new shifter spring if bought from hybrid directly because idk how long other vendors may have had theirs in stock ya know. The spring is free if you email HR. Super easy to work with

Any vids of it with the new spring? I still have the original stiff spring. But will be selling my hybrid soon anyways.

All gold shifters will not have the super-hard spring. Shifters purchased before 12/15 will not have the super-hard spring.

All other shifters purchased after 12/15 will come pre-installed with the super-hard spring.

If anyone has any issues with their parts or installation questions, feel free to message us. We always want to help.

I have been considering getting a Hybrid Racing shifter, is it possible to get a new spring if a supplier has old stock lying around? Is the spring only for shifting siffness? I am a noob when it comes to replacing shifters
