Any ideas on when the shifter adapters will ship?
We should be able to ship them out same day as ordered or the next day :)

That's what I was hoping. Acuity just launched their short shifter adapter and they have the zip tie method advertised on the site? I'm sorry but that's a little ridiculous? lol
The ziptie mod is for every short shift adapter that extends the factory shifter rod. The mod isn't required, but it does work to fix the 'click' that can happen in all of these adapters. Not all installs will have the 'click,' but if yours does and it bothers you, then a solution doesn't have to be expensive to work ...

Yep, people been doing it for ages. I just expect better for a brand new car and new design.

If you are fine drilling and zip tieing your cables....cool you do you.

Does the stock Si shift boot snap onto your shift knob/red adapter? It appears to in the pictures.

Thank you!

I would never expect Honda to design their shifters to handle aftermarket shift lever extensions ;).
As for drilling and zip-tieing, I wouldn't do it myself either ... which is one of the reasons why I'm waiting for a full replacement shifter.

@ALTA Performance - is your Shifter Cable Lockdown aimed at addressing this same issue?

Yes it is!! From the factory, the 10th Gen's come with enough of a rattle feeling and sound to be unpleasant. The ALTA Shifter Cable Lockdown firms up the cable to shifter housing mount and helps to hold the cables in a far more static position, eliminating the rattle.

We discovered this noise in the first couple of days owning our 10th gen’s, That is why we came up with this part!

Now adding the short shifter does amplify this noise but nothing crazy, the Shifter cable lockdown will help fix this ;)

Thomas,

Yeah? Talking about Acuity's design not Honda.

From the factory this shifter cable rattle noise is normal, when adding a after-market short shifter this rattle can be more pronounced. Instead of drilling and adding zip-ties we have our Shifter cable lockdown.
