For several years, RSX and 8th Gen Civic owners have been raving about the benefits of our Performance Shifter Cables. Due to popular demand, we have now made the same great cables available to EP3 owners!
The Hybrid Racing shifter cables are a performance upgraded over the OEM shifter cables. The solid rod ends and bushings give the Hybrid Racing cables a firmer, tighter feel over OEM cables. Resulting in fewer missed shifts and a more connected feel to the chassis. In addition, the plastic swivel support tubes that are known to break on the OEM shifter cables have been replaced with stainless steel swivel support tubes, which are significantly harder to break and these cables are 30% thicker. We wanted to give people a peace of mind when they shift hard and during demanding racing applications.
The Hybrid Racing shifter cables feature stainless steel push rods, swivel support tubes, and inner cables. The rod ends and mounting bushings are all 6061 aluminum that have received a T6 heat treatment and a black, hard anodized coating. All of this adds up to an amazing shifting experience.
Are these cables a direct replacement for my OEM EP3 Civic Si style cables?
The Hybrid Racing shifter cables are slightly thicker than OEM cables. It should be noted that the OEM cables have plastic twist-lock bushings on the shifter end. Hybrid Racing cables instead use spring clip and aluminum bushings. This aluminum bushings simplify installation a bit, but more importantly, they get rid of yet another plastic part that tends to flex on the OEM cables, which can often lead to a sloppy feeling shift. The extra spring clips that you will need to install the Hybrid Racing cables are included with the cables, so you will not need to buy any other parts. An easy to follow installation guide is available on our site.
What is included with these shifter cables?
Aside from 2 shifter cables, each shifter cable set includes 2 cotter pins, clips for the shifter end, and transmission selector lever springs (a $30 value for free).
