The K-Tuned race spec shifter cables were one of the first K-Tuned products I ever owned. The first was the Ram header and then these cables. I've owned them and put them under abuse for a good 5 years so far. I decided to get myself a fresh pair instead of trying to liven these up a bit.

As a long term user of the k tuned shifter it would be cool to see you compare it to the hybrid racing k series shifter and oem shifter cars. Similar to the intake manifold vid. Its the way you explain the stuff, like your clear and calm the whole time and focused. You are a good vlogger and have a better car then half the community and its taken you time and saving.
That would be a good video, I plan on doing a k swap but I don't know what shifter to go with
That's a good idea. I'd have to find someone with the latest version shifter from hybrid. I've had one before but it was the no cut version which I dont recommend the no cut shifter from hybrid or from ktuned. I only support the RSX type shifters they both offer. From what I know, it would really come down to personal preference between those shifters. They are both well made. There's less of the hybrid around since they typically do not have any stock available for months on end
Great vid 👍 your excellent with these type of vids and explaining your self
Childstar said wait I don’t see bling on the cables better get on top of that ASAP, love the car brother keep up the good work 👍
Love the ek keep killing it 🔥 🔥 🔥💯 💯
Much respect homie
Just wait till 2019. I am going to rock your world. Longest product name ever. Going to need to make two part video just to get the name out
Lol I cant wait hahaha!
🖒🖒 up up wid di quality vids. I want to get one of these shifters because the no-cut shifter has a ton of freeplay buuuut I like my center console and want to keep my interior low key due to thieves here in San Antonio.
cleanest install video ever! Damn bro!
Thanks man
"I" like to see installs because its kinda soothing, something like a ASMR video but with knowledge
Nice! Lol.. boys are awesome! My boys does the same thing in my ride lol... awesome vids keep it coming bro!
Haha thank you man. It's fun passing along the hobby
Awesomeness video bro
Hello, good afternoon, I am writing to you from Puerto Rico. Your videos are very good. You explain very well. I would like to know if you have any video explaining how to install the k tuned billet firewall shifter cables grummet where do the cables pass? Got me.
Great video. Approximately how much do you have invested in the shifter and cables? Glad to see your little ones inside your car. They are grown and gone before you know it
A TON. Maybe 800 worth since I got the billet shifter, then got the upgraded race spec version, the race spec cables and trans bracket, a custom length shifter arm, and a 5th gear lockout added to my shifter. I put a lot of extras into it.
I was trying to get some advice from you regarding cams and intake manifolds if you could help me, I greatly appreciate it
Thanks for sharing
Nice video
Mi question is,
Underneed to the shifter box, if I'm not wrong...has 2 little bolts for adjustment...how adjust those 2 little bolts?
That's correct. Those two tiny ones underneath are for adjusting the stiffness of the pivoting ball in the center of the shifter.
The best ktuned shifter
Hey @childstar I need some advice I wanna put that k-tune billet shifter in my 2001 civic besides new cables what else do you recommend getting
The shifter plate
I have the same setup but for a 97 ek hatch. I’m having trouble with the cable install. When I do there’s hella tension on the cable that shove it to the top right of the firewall hole making the k tuned firewall grommet unusable as well. Any help on why the cables got so much tension?
The race spec cables are just very stiff in the sleeving, so trying to find a smooth route to your shifter is key to keeping them less tense. The majority of my cables are in a "S" shape behind the dash board before reaching my shifter
@childstar I have this box but mine is kind of underneath the car with the karcepts mounting kit. To service the brass pivot ball ( clean and re-grease ) do I have to drop the entire unit from the bottom? or can you disassemble some bits and pull it from above?
Youd have to drop it because you have to disconnect the side arm in order to get to the pivot ball. It should not need regreasing often at all. For me it was more of me being nitpicky rather than a necessity
@@ksisjdm thanks for the reply, ended up being low on grease and was able to service it from above
nice!
looks like you have the same issue the initial sloop when you first engage the shifter forward, i own the hybrid racing shifter box, and i was not to happy the k tune box looks a little to big for my taste i know its billet and hell it looks awesome i wish they down the size a little, anyways awesome channel and great review, im probably just going to get k tune cables over the HB ones, i dont see to much quality control there on HB maybe the stuff is getting built over seas? k tune ftw
I dont have any slop. I simply dont set it up ridiculously tight because all that does is promote premature wear and has no benefit at all.
Both companies make quality parts, both companies dont make perfect parts.
@@ksisjdm on the k tune cable's what were the pros and cons in you're opinion what benefit did you see over hybrid racing. I understand what you mean on the slop but a firm not tight engagement is always better than a loose engagement while shifting
There is no difference in engagement, the "loose" feel doesnt not effect reaching gears or anything in any manner.
Only benefit ktuned cables have over hybrid cables is that ktuned cables are adjustable.
How do you like the race spec cables compared to the OEM cables is there are difference other than durability?
I love em. The Durability is one thing, also these are much more flexible for routing, and also far less prone to stretching compared to OEM.
Your shift knob weighted? Always thought it was better to have less weight on cables?? Great vid man!
Who said my shift knob is weighted? I literally use some of the lightest shift knobs around lol. My spoon, mugen si, and carbon fiber mugen shift knob are what I use. I don't use my weighted ones.
@@ksisjdm i gotcha, nobody said it.. just assumed due to the stainless steel look
If I ever go k, I plan to get this shifter. Wish they made one for h22.
This rsx shifter can used with the H22. Many people have done it already since the H22 is a cable shifted trans.
@@ksisjdm well you learn something new every day. I guess i know what I will be researching tonight.
What is that knob for in the front of the shifter? That side to side locking knob?
It's a 5th gear lockout for drag racing. Prevents accidental shifts into 5th and allows you to push hard right from second to ensure 3rd and 4th is always hit
does anybody mount these at all inside the car after the shifter? is there a need for a bracket to hold the cables together inside the car, or do they just run through the firewall right to the trans and float in place.
There is a bracket on the K series Trans that all shifter cables mount to before they are at their respective locations on the transmission. And that includes all stock cables and aftermarket.
Is your buddy club seat the wide version?
My seat is the normal version and it's a snug for for me at a 32" waist
Will the 06 Rsx shifter box fit a 06 civic si?
No
you need to remove de heater core to pass the cables? or you open a hole? Nice car dude
It's up to the person swapping the car. I chose to go through the heater core hole so I'm not making a new hole in my car. Some people drill below the heater core to run the cables through or some use the oem o2 hole area to bring the cables in.
Do you run your cables threw the heater core opening? Or did u make a hole
Yes mine are through the heater core hole
Ahh ok, i did mine like that but the plastic around the cable broke, so idk wat to do
Would this fit in the exhaust tunnel cause I had to cut it for the shifter plate and wanted to upgrade in the future
Yes people have mounted it in the tunnel as well.
Childstar my bad I was talking bout the shifter not the cables
....yeah me too. ...the shifter has been mounted from underneath before to give more of a clean interior look.
Childstar I haven’t been able to see one done that’s why I was scared to pull the trigger
Hey bro quick question
My rsx also has a k24/k20
And when on cold starts
It will die immediatly
My started is perfext at 13.7 volts
Changed my sparkplugs
And coilpacks
All brand new
Only way it will hold idle if is i start it in gear and just go
It will take about 20 to 25 seconds for of driving for it to hold idle
If not it will just keep stalling
Until its warmed up
Any ideas?
Sounds like you dont have an idle air control valve on your car and the low idle at startup until warm is normal when an IACV is not present. You can counter balance this with adjusting your idle slightly higher so that it wont die but it'll idle really low until warm.
@@ksisjdm i actually do have an AICV
Had it changed and done the little adjustments on it done by a professional tuning shop
Maybe its a faulty aicv?
I would look into the tune then. With an idle air control valve, it should idle HIGH first, now low...and when it warms up the idle would drop to the right number. Without an iacv, the engine rpm works backwards...cold start idles low and warms up and raises idle naturally
@@ksisjdm thanks man!
Will these cables work with a stock shifter? Nice video btw
Yes they work with a stock shifter. Thanks for watching!
@@ksisjdm thxs for the response. I installed a sk2 short shifter adapter and made the shifter shorter, and replaced most the parts .. pretty short shifts... I installed stronger shifting springs in the gear selector already, just gotta out these cables on.
And btw , do I need the ktuned cables for this? Lmaooo
Did you put a sleeve under the car so the cables won’t burn ? My burnt
Nope, my cables don't run underneath the car
How did you get your engine so clean ? No corrosion or what so ever
Just cleaned the hell out of it when I first got it and then painted it up. Its held up over the years.
@@ksisjdm may i ask Wich kind of paint it is ?
Its just basic Krylon spray paint. Applied in dust coats to adhere better. Thick heavy coats may be prone to cracking
Oohhhhhh snap
any issues so far on the cables
Nope, there's nothing to have a problem with regarding the cables unless it was something self inflicted. Everything is just fine and just as smooth as ever.
quick question, is this Transmission off a TSX?
No, a k20a2. Rsxs
@@ksisjdm, Thanks for the reply, Im picking up a k24Z3 of a 2010 TSX with the original 6 speed this saturday for my EG hatch and was wondering if the cables under the hood are in the same location as yours transmission on top or on the bottom, was hoping they where on top like yours, really easy install. thanks again for the reply
Yes the cables are on the top but just in a slightly different position with a different shift selector
Have you ever used any other cables before?
OEM in another chassis.
Do you think there is a noticeable difference between aftermarket or oem?
Yes theres a noticeable difference but the thing I would debate between is if its worth the price tag difference.
Thanks bro I'm at that point where I'm trying to decide to just get aftermarket or just go with OEM ones
What Knob Is That?
Mugen carbon fiber spherical: black stripe
@@ksisjdmthanks
Let me get them old shifter cables for my rsx lol
They were sold a few hours after the video was posted
When I come visit I will bring my own passenger seat ;)
Hahaha that would be sick!
Brace yurself hahahahah😂😂 keep the videos coming. The coup is looking good still
11:05 RIP transmission
nick birminghamEM1 bahahahahah
Hahaha, if my son can break it, it ain't worth using haha. I've let him go nuts with all my parts since he was a baby. Things gotta be kid proof lol
@@ksisjdm that's a good method of product testing 😂
Um the passenger seat is being used lol
Doesn't look like it's being driven...so no belt or bucket seat required
I never cared much for cable shifters myself.
Okay.
The K series engine has a cable operated transmission. Thus the cable shifter. In my case, this had absolutely nothing to do with preference.
@@ksisjdm oh, I know man you did a good job on explaining the install. It might seem like people could read the directions to install it with but it does help to see other people do it sometimes though...just saying
Yeah I feel you. That's why I went ahead and did it. But I was just being a smart ass a little bit lol trying to have some fun with the video. I appreciate the feedback man.
@@ksisjdm nothing wrong with having some fun, keep up the good work I love that ride.
