Shifter Base Bushings for RSX, 9th Gen Civic Si, and more

Good quality product, I highly recommend these bushings. Made shifting smoother and less notchy. Combined it with the Acuity boot clip and shifter. Installation guides on the Acuity website made installation a breeze. Also purchased the shift linkage bushings but haven't installed yet.

9th gen civic si. Relatively easy install. Lots of interior panels to remove as well as brackets to get to the bushings. I’d actually suggest if you are going to change your shifter (short shifter for example) to do it at the same time as you install new bushings since it’s all going to be accessible.Great product paired with the shifter bushings by acuity as well! Not getting locked out of gears anymore due to a much stiffer shift feel!

I’d rate the difficulty probably a 3/10 with instructions on Acuity’s website to guide the way. You’ll need a 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm socket along with a ratchet(recommended 1/4 drive) with extension. Have a flathead screwdriver and possibly a Phillips head as well, 14mm wrench to break the shift knob jamb nut loose, a trim removal tool helps when prying too, takes about an hour to get done. Honestly idk if I recommend it or not, my shifter wasn’t sloppy to begin with so it feels about the same after installation. The one that makes the biggest difference is the Acuity shifter cable bushings which is under the hood on top of the transmission, but these will do for the price difference. Photos are in order from when I began to when I finished.Edit: after having driven with these in for a week now, there is a noticeable difference when going into gear you can hear/feel the notch when shifting sometimes. Do recommend

These little bad boys did their job perfectly. My shifter went from feeling spongey and loose to tight and crisp. I paired these with a short shifter and holy smokes do they change the feel of your car.

The media could not be loaded. I was a little worried about installing these because on all the diy videos they tell you to remove the shifter cables and take the shifter assembly out to remove the bushings and install the new ones.I took out the entire center console out and that gave me a lot of room to remove the old ones and install the new ones. Just make sure you have an extension and a size 5 allen socket and key to tighten the Acuity bushings.I removed the center console and changed the bushings in about 30 minutes, but took my time cleaning all the gunk that was down there, vacuuming and taking apart the center console pieces to clean them. So if you don’t do any cleaning you can finish in about 45 minutes to an hour.After putting everything back together I went for adrive and it made a big improvement. The shifter feels more precise now and clicks in gear with ease. (Except for second gear, but I think that’s from the factory.) I’m glad these bushings worked because I was skeptical that such small upgrade would make a big difference. I was starting to think I needed to replace my clutch and was also considering buying a short shifter, but I’m glad these bushings made such an improvement. A few years ago I installed the Acuity shift linkage bushings so now I have the complete setup.

my shifter feels brand new soon after I made the change. Thank you

My shifter was feeling a bit loose. Didn't want to pay shipping on Acuitys site. These came as advertised, quick and legit. Definitely recommend.

These are nice replacements. I am an older guy with an RSX type S. I don't shift hard and mine were still in a very good state. Swapping them out for these was a good long term investment since I plan on passing on my RSX to my daughter in 4 years
