How many here have done this mod? What are your thoughts? Is it as good as what the YouTube vidoes say? Wanna hear y’alls feedback.

I got the acuity one and it’s amazing. The difference is very noticeable and is by far my favorite upgrade. I also got the rocker, spring and base bushings. Definitely get all of them if you can afford it as the shifter is completely different. If you are on. A budget get the spring at the very least and bushings if you can afford the extra $29.

I got so far the shifter bushing from ACUITY and that made a little difference.

Some people bought the shifter part from the Type R, added the rocker arm, centering spring, and bushings to swap it in place of the stock Si shifter for a short shifter.

I'm going to do it that way, as well. Not only is the entire shifter less expensive than the Acuity short shifter, it also avoids any clicking sounds and gives you a way to make all the mods before disassembling the console so you can simply swap the shifters and put it all back together.

Thanks for the love, all! The CTR shifter is not a bad option either, as stated. The throw reduction is not as substantial as an Si shifter with our short throw adapter, but it's still an appreciable improvement, especially when putting the CTR shifter in a sport/base model.

I installed all the Acuity parts with the Type R shifter last week - it's outstanding. I'm very pleased with the length of the throws even with the extra narrow gates from the Acuity rocker arm.

A++++++ would buy again.

i have no experience with alta so cant give an opinion.

but i have many acuity shifter parts, except the lock down, and they are the best shifter mods you can get. the rocker arm and the spring made it feel like a totally different shifter. almost like a high end sports car. definitely a night and day difference. the only complaint i would have at all is the rocker arm is a little pricey. and the spring is a bit expensive for what it is. but i guess you get what you pay for.
