What Makes This Shifter Different?

Unlike traditional short shifters that only reduce throw length, this unit offers four independent adjustment points.

Drivers can customize:

• Gear throw distance
• Gate spacing
• Shift knob height
• Overall shift feel

This allows the shifter to be tailored to street, autocross, drag racing, or track use.

The unique linkage design provides a substantial reduction in throw for quick shifts in a form factor that easily fits under the RSX’s console (in addition to the DC5 Integra console).

Up to 55% Shorter Shift Throws

The biggest performance advantage is throw reduction.

Benefits include:

• Faster gear changes
• Less hand movement
• Improved acceleration between shifts
• Better responsiveness

Drivers can dial in the exact amount of reduction they prefer.

Adjustable Gate Spacing

Gate spacing can be narrowed by up to 41%.

Benefits include:

• Faster side-to-side movement
• More compact shift pattern
• Reduced shift time
• Better motorsports performance

This is particularly useful for road racing and autocross applications.

Adjustable Shift Knob Height

The shifter allows adjustment approximately 30mm higher or lower than stock.

Benefits include:

• Improved ergonomics
• Driver-specific customization
• Better reach from the steering wheel
• Increased comfort

This feature helps accommodate different driving positions and seating setups.

Gear throw can also be adjusted as much as 55% shorter than stock, and gate spacing can also be adjusted as much as 41% narrower than stock

Triple the Factory Centering Force

One of the standout features is the increased spring force.

Advantages include:

• Faster self-centering
• More positive engagement
• Better confidence during aggressive driving
• Reduced chance of missed shifts

The stronger centering action is immediately noticeable.

Perfect for K-Series Swaps

K-swapped Hondas often produce significantly more power than factory applications.

Popular builds include:

K-Swapped EG Civic

Lightweight and extremely capable.

K-Swapped EK Civic

One of the most common Honda performance platforms.

Excellent balance of power and handling.

Track-Focused Honda Builds

Ideal for road racing and time attack.

Final Thoughts

The 4-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter is one of the most versatile and performance-focused shifter upgrades available for RSX and K-Series swap enthusiasts. With adjustable throw length, gate spacing, shift height, and significantly stronger centering action, it allows drivers to create a truly custom shifting experience tailored to their driving style.

Because if your K-Series is bouncing off 8,500 RPM and making race-car noises, your shifter should be just as serious about performance as the rest of the build.
