the new hybrid one looks and feels much better than that older version
All of Acuity’s stuff is like jewelry! It’s expensive, but so beautifully engineered and built.
I was saying something similar the other day. They could literally charge twice as much for any of their products and it would be worth it and they KNOW it, but they don't to be a decent brand. One of the best aftermarket companies for Honda EVER
9:04 - 9:10 “oh yeah. Yeah? Oh yeah. Yeah? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah” 🤣🙌🏽. Great video as always!
Just went from a K Tuned billet shifter to an Acuity 4-way and holy crap there is no comparison. The Acuity is hands down THE better shifter. The K-Tuned would often pop out of gear or refuse to go into gears. All shifts felt tentative. Before I went and changed tranny fluid I decided to switch to Acuity and now all shifts immediately felt firmer, easier and very slick. Throw was very short. Most satisfying shifter yet. I can’t even imagine how it’ll feel when I put in Amsoil tranny fluid. The engineering and quality on Acuity looks and feels incredible.
Absolutely.. Grab their detents, shift selector springs, and their cable bushing.. My Dc5 shifts better than some Porsche gearboxes its just that good.
Thank you for finally making that video everyone wanted!
I really appreciate how yall tried to stay unbiased
great comparison! much needed.. even though they all do the same thing. we needed this exact comparison! thanks
If you going to test the new acuity you need to test the new Hybrid otherwise it’s not a fair test
yoo the hand pointer had me weak haven’t seen one of those since elementary school 😂
The Acuity is fire! Can’t wait to put one in my del sol
Acuity by far is the best, I have one in my dc5s
Yeah great video. I got the uncut ktuned shifter that was in the level 4 kit and it's rubbish. I need to upgrade as it's loose and sloppy
Thanks for making this video
Yeah that acuity is on the next level. Too smooth for k series. And smoothness is key when ur on the road.
Awesome vids. You guys happened to have the hybrid racing no cut shifter feedback on the eg? Have you guys ever tested it?
Hybrid v3 is the best one
What about fitment when the shifter console and boot install?
That hoodie is fire tho!!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys! Goodstuff!
I like them all and i drive a auto ,Great vid - Number 2
Great video
Is their a sequential type shifter only conversion like they have for domestics that s1 sequential does. That be nice on our Honda acuras
Hi I want to put a k20a2 head on a k24a1 block and I do plan on getting better rods and pistons and would like to avoid the oil pump Situation u mentioned in a previous video.So i wanted to know if I should just follow this path or if it’s better to get a TSX block and modify the oil pump to make it fit?
Nice! I love biased VS. videos :)
the application matters. I have an 03 CLS and just installed the new Hybrid shifter and it's definitely better than the ktuned I had on my 08 TLS. neither shifters had the springs depicted in this video, so I feel like some applications just aren't as great as others from the same company.
If I have a DC2 chassis w/ an 03 accord trans. What shifter would you recommend? Do they make a "no cut" for that setup?
To a B series guy these billet shifters are like the ice cream truck guy on a hot summers day that wont slow down for you...
Hybrid racing makes the B Series shifter. Not as fancy as these k swap ones but also not as much.
What was the final verdict on that maxpeeding shifter I mean it’s obviously not in the car anymore but was it really bad?
Ain’t the KTuned shift box the knockoff version though? Either way I’m looking to get a knockoff as well cause my KTuned one might end up breaking on me next season.
@diymike what adapter plate did you use?
Hi which cable you use can i use k tuned race spec with acuity shifter?
The right to left is easier than left to right because of the springs in the transmission itself. The right to left spring would be more worn
No the starter gears are looser for more quicker access
Wanna see updates on MR2!
Acuity hands down🤝🏾🤓
What shifter cables are you guys using?
Need to try the hybrid v3 shifter. Big upgrade from the older versions
Yeah when I got my new hybrid shifter it was way better then the old one
Id hope so the original hybrid was the worst shifter in history i went back to factory
How's it compare to the acuity?
Lmfaooo still not even close to as good
@@urgandma mine feels like a shift linkage
Do they make that for a h22 swaps in a ek civic
Try the pqy racing k series shifter
I’m definitely looking forward to getting acuity. I have the HR V2 and it failed twice on me. Sent it back and they said it had to be tuned to spec. Now it doesn’t even grip on the swivel part. So it’s basically loose…heard too many horror stories of the ktuned shifter. Acuity looks promising but I think I’ll prefer the non swivel so that I can mitigate that part ever failing again.
Hey @diymike can I use any shifter plate for the acuity shifter ? Can you please get back to me please and thank you
What are the wheels on JENA?
Should of gotten the plm or cheap eBay one also
Hybrid Racing shifter is 🔥
Hybrid By far the better/best...
Ktuned is at the bottom. Over priced
Acuity is just unknowned
Buddy Club Oem shifter FTW
it feels weird shifting 4th to 5th because the car is not moving and its getting caught in-between 5/6 and rev selector. With the car moving rev lock out is engaged and 4-5 shift will feel much better.
hey mate, fancy seeing you here, my pick is the hybrid shifter
on all standards or just implemented into civics ?
@@sk-philthy if you are talking about reverse lock out. All K 6spd has reverse lock out. So with the solenoid engaged you wont be able to go to rev. But if its disebgaged (no speed detected or key off) when you go from 4-5 you can go too far over to where rev is. Then you wont get into 5th because you went too far. Only K serries 6spd and matching ecu has this feature.
Awesome

"Take my StRoNg Hand...!"
Hybrid ftw in my book
I’m going to sound like an idiot lol I’ve been looking but can’t find anything am I able to put that exact acuity shifter in the link in bio in my integra ??? It’s k swapped because I see the description says the newer Si’s
I bought the billet k-tuned with the race spec cables,can’t tell you how it feels because my car isn’t put back together yet,seems like everyone prefers the hybrid version
It’s going to feel like crap honestly. I just switched from that to an Acuity. World of difference.
@@ftlgo7815 why? What was it that you didn’t like from the k-tuned shifter?
just bought the ktune one shor 333$ CAD, i hope i will enjoy it
I’m in the market for one but Idk which one 😢
90-93 Accord oem metal shifter.
Lol didn't even try the V3 hybrid racing shifter SMH 😂
Have you tried the Precision Works Fully Adjustable Billet Shifter? There about $789.00 new and would like to see what you guys think about it.
Any link you can throw?
THE PW is a Ktuned knockoff and the shifter is not 700, its like 299... The $789 is for the race cables, bushings and shifter combo.
The ktuned race shifter doesn't go into 5th nicely because you shouldn't be using 5th gear
Watching this just tells me I need to stick with a B series so I can keep the amazing shift rods instead of that cable crap.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Okay boomer
You won’t be saying that when ur getting smoked by ks
@@terp_a_derp_ oh no another car is faster than mine it's the end of the world. I'm not even going for race car. I'm going for grand touring.
can these shifters go on any manual transmission?
K series. Cable trans
Anyone used the no cutt hybrid shifter box for ek kswap HYB-SAS-01-06?
yea me
Oem is the Best with oem cables
Damn how you gonna compare a new acuity shifter to an old hybrid shifter. They don’t even sell gold anymore. When’s that shifter from?
Acuity paid them 😂
What abt the eBay ktuned copy?
Definitely not a real k tuned shifter more on ktuned style copy shifter
4:10 Mine is perfect I guess its depends on how good your gear box is not just how your shifter shifts.
Bro that Mickey Mouse pointer finger was killing me 😂
This isn’t an Apples to Apples comparison, if you’re using a brand new Acuity shifter try out a brand new V3 Hybrid Racing shifter. Just sounds biased to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The hybrid racing v3 is the best shifter on the market but y’all didn’t test that
I went with the K tuned ! Definitely Ktuned shifter and ALL their other parts FTW!!! Hybrid Racing I’ve always considered like low budget or food stamp quality. ACUITY too purple for my taste. To each their own.
Everything that K-Tuned sells, is made from China. The K-Tuned "replica" parts on Ebay, are just K-Tuned parts that aren't branded its junk and its proven to be junk. Join k20a on facebook and search K-Tuned. There is a huge thread with a high rate of product failure. The only item that hasn't failed on me that I purchased from K-Tuned was their map sensor plug. Throttle body would stick open like crazy, oil cap leaks, dip stick pops out on an N/A K24 with normal driving, throttle cable came apart after less than 30 miles of use and destroyed itself, street spec shifter cables binded after 200 miles of normal driving. Customer service was not helpfull whatsoever. Hybrid Racing isn't a "low budget" quality lol and there customer service is fantastic. Their products are far superior to anything K-Tuned will ever produce. Haven't had a failure since I switched to Hybrid.
Ktuned is absolute junk.. All China/Taiwan mass-produced junk..
hybrid racing is the best hands down
Ktuned Shifter all day plus It looks better
💪🏼🔥👍🏼
"...And Reverse which is new to this car"
You guys forgot the most important....k tuned has lockouts ...for 1-2 and 5-6
Will the shifter work with EP3 engine in mr2? The one you guys think was the best ?
The Acuity is an RSX style replacement shifter just like the other two. So if an RSX style is what you need for your MR2 then that one will work too.
@@TrackSol I’m not 100% sure but I know they said they were going to use it k swapped mr2 that’s why I was asking
@MUM!N Actually, it’s not the engine that matters. It all depends on the transmission. In reality its the shift assembly that is mounted on the transmission. For example, you can mount a TSX/Accord transmission to a RSX K20 engine and these RSX style shifters wont work. The pattern would be backwards. Thats why Ktuned makes an RSX shifter and a seperate TSX/Accord shifter.
@@TrackSol v true. I had wanted the race spec shifter for my k24a2 swap, using accord euro r transmission- had to buy the TSX version instead because of the reasons you mentioned. (I still prefer the look of the race spec one grrrrr)
I took my stock rsx box out and prebent it back towards the driver, now i can have my baja blast in the cupholder and not smack my hand into it! Integra
How did you bend it
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 took it off the car, put the bottom in the vice, heated 1" section above vice, then used a jack handle to "manipulate" its angle. Its tough steel but it wasnt that difficult.
Do eBay k swap mount please guys.. Budget buildftw
Asians never die shirt lol. I want acuity shifter too.
Which one fits my Element? 🤣
Hybrid’s EP3 shifter is a direct bolt in
This will fit on an mr2? Which gen mr2? czcams.com/video/RoPCFIQzRPQ/video.html
It's just weird seeing someone go from 4th to 5th in a straight line. From before I even drove, just practicing shifting in the drive way of my mums car, I have always shifted up, right, up. This has never slowed my shifting down and I don't under stand why you would try and slam a straight lined through an H pattern.
And people still mis-shift 😂
Accuity for the win 🔥
This video is defs clickbait. Hybridracing ftw❤️❤️
Acuity is the better shifter. HR is good tho.. Their v3 at least.. But Acuity is absolutely a better shifter all around.
I would just pick the Acuity cause it has the least amount of hex bits. I mean seriously its 2020, we're mechanics we want even number sized nuts with a pozidrive centre as a backup, none of this outdated want to be a standard hex/allen/torq/triangle crap.

#1 acuity
#2 ktuned
#3 hybrid
Thats not a real k tuned shifter more on Chinese ktuned style copy shifter to me
That’s not even a real ktuned shifter. That’s eBay $80 shifter
What? Can't nobody put a proper review? Too much talking and guesing. Lame...
