Hey everyone! My name is Pawinn Song, and I have been working with Acuity Instruments on part install/review videos on my own YouTube channel (I've linked the videos in "my garage" here on civicx). Since then I've started producing content on their YouTube Channel as well, making install videos for new and existing parts. Here's a link to the first video I produced for their channel:drive::



I hope this helps with your shifter part installs! I'll be posting more content on this thread as new products are installed/reviewed/filmed. Be sure to check out @acuityinstruments on instagram as well!

No worries, that's easily fixed. Trade in for an FK8 and put the new bits in there! We are a little over a month out from new ESCOs with 30% more weight, and color options of white, purple, or teal, and about 2 months out from the shifter, hopefully less. XOXO

Any ball park figure of pricing on the shifter yet?

Looking like it will be a tad more than our 9th gen offering due to a bunch of material improvements and some additional complexity, but not too much so. Mid 400's or thereabout. We rarely know final pricing until we are a week or two out from launch. It requires a bit of time on our end to work through material costs and labor on them. ~Russ

We're still waiting on a few things to finish up the new colored knobs. Hoping you see them out in about a month, but we don't have an official timeline as we are at the mercy of a few suppliers. We are going to add them as an option on the kits as soon as we can. :) ~russ

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Pawinn just released a pretty helpful video on our Youtube channel. It covers 2 topics that give some people issues during shifter linkage bushing installations. The first is how to properly hold the cables while removing the OEM bushings. The second is how to install the spiral style retaining rings on our cable bushings. If you're thinking about installing cable bushings at some point, it's definitely worth watching.
