Hybrid Racing Short Shifter

[jonny7isa]

First and foremost, huge thanks to David at Hybrid Racing for shipping this beauty of their brand new Short Throw Shifter. Looks and feels amazing! Paired it up with Hybrid's Maxim shift knob, absolutely in love with the quality

Installation wasn't there worst. Can easily be done with a pair of hands. In my opinion, the hardest part was carefully trying to take apart the center console, so tedious!

Comparing the OEM Shifter vs the Hybrid Racing Shifter, OEM sucks! Cant even compare the quality.
Shifting into gear now is so precise!

You have 2 positions to choose from for you liking:
Position 1 - Short but can get even shorter!
Position 2 - Being the shortest throw

I went with Position 2, as I want the shortest throw possible. Me, as the driver, it feels more like I'm in control (if that makes any sense). It provides such a great engagement for the driver.

Does this retain the shift boot at all? or is it just left sorta exposed? Thanks

Good question! Not sure, I won't be running the shift boot with my set up

Acuity all day long for me..
Have a fellow FK8 Owner in UK who's bought this, so we are going to be doing compares at some point

I would have gotten an Acuity shifter to stay with the rest of the Acuity I have, but 10% off the Hybrid shifter it's cheaper by $100.

Yea I'm just curious as to how they compare.. in terms of throw, feel, adjustability, etc

Curious to hear feedback from someone who has used both the 1 and 2 positions. Sometimes a short shifter can be too short and you can get lost in the gears in high stress / fast paced shifting such as on track....a missed shift is always slower than a longer proper shift after all

Mind to share some feedback on this shifter?

AMAZING! I love how clean and simple going into gear it is now. Comparing both shifters, you can see the quality that Hybrid Racing has created for the 10th gen Civic's

Anyone with Hybrid shifter ran into issue with alignment? I kind of had to push toward front really hard in order to line up the 4 bolts. By doing this means creating a lot of compression to the out-layer of cable.
I finished installation and car runs ok. Just curious if that's normal or not.

Hmm, i didnt have any issues. All holes from the shifter lined up perfectly fine with the bolt holes of the car

That's normal. David at Hybrid said you will have to push in the cable forward a little bit.
