Race Spec Shifter Cables & Trans Bracket
Billet Shifter Arm
The K-Tuned Billet Shifter Arm is a direct replacement for the
sloppy oem plastic shifter arm. This 100% billet aluminum arm uses
an extremely durable delrin pivot ball with much tighter clearances
than stock. We have also fitted the arm with a stiffer heat treated
neutral return spring. These 3 combined parts virtually eliminate
the play or looseness that is a common complaint about the stock
shifter box. The result is a shifter with much improved shift
accuracy and an overall crisper feel. This product will give the
user increased confidence and reduce the chances of a dreaded
mis-shift which can kill a motor in a matter of seconds.
Designed to fit all oem shifter boxes from
K20A/A2/A3 and
Z1 engines. This upgrade is so good, it almost feels
like a mechanical linkage. For customers on a tighter budget, we
are also offering our upgraded pivot ball and upgraded return
spring separately. We do however want to note that using the oem
plastic arm will still cause some flex in the system.
5th Gear Lockout
The oem shifter and cable system might be fine for a car going to
pick up some groceries, but in a performance car this setup is
definitely lacking. It is unfortunately all too common that people
are missing gears with K-series transmission which can be
costly.
In a stock RSX or a swapped car a mis-shift from
1-2-1 or 2-3-2 usually results in a blown motor with a big ugly
hole in the block. Using feedback from our family of racers,
K-Tuned has come in and developed a complete shifter system to keep
the gears going where they are supposed to be.
The K-Tuned Shifter 5th Gear Lockout comes with our Shifter
Billet Arm. This 100% billet aluminum arm uses a durable delrin
pivot ball with much tighter clearances than stock. We also fitted
the arm with a stiffer neutral return spring to help remove shifter
play or looseness that people commonly complain about. Now for the
tricky part, the 5th Gear Lockout is like a guide that was designed
to keep the shifter going into the correct gear.
Start with a billet template that fits over the base of the oem
shifter box. On this base we designed a spring loaded pin to lock
the shifter out of the 5-6-R section of the shifter. By doing this
the user just needs to focus on shifting to 4 corners.
However we made it with 2 settings. When setup in the release
setting, 4th gear opens the shifter up for a normal shift to 5th if
needed. Designed to fit all oem shifter boxes from
K20A/A2/ and Z1 engines and
also the EM2 Civic shifter box, this part is like an
insurance policy for your engine. Street car or race car our guided
5th Gear Lockout will definitely keep your gears going in the right
spot.
Shifter Cable Firewall Grommet
On K-swapped cars without heater cores and top mounted shifters,
most people seem to pass the shifter cables somewhere through the
firewall. Sometimes the existing hole for the heater core is used
and sometimes people prefer to drill a new hole slightly lower on
the firewall. Either way works fine but you are always left with
some ugly gaps around the cables after installation. This is
exactly why we designed a special grommet that eliminates these
ugly gaps and protects the cable from the sharp edges of the hole.
The K-Tuned Cable Grommet has a billet frame with a 7/16 thick
rubber grommet in it. Simply drill 4 holes in the corners of the
frame and fasten in place with the included hardware. Great for
race cars and anywhere shifter cables are passed through a
firewall.
Shifter Cable Heatshield Tubing
Protect your shifter cables from melting and burning with K-Tuned
Heat Shield Tubing. These 4 foot long and ID tubes are
constructed with an aluminized outer layer that is laminated to a
braided fiberglass insulation that provides superior protection
from radiant heat up 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. Each tube split down
the middle so it can be put on the cables even when they are
already installed on the vehicle. This is a very simple product
that solves a simple problem. Please note that the shifter cables
still need to be properly fastened away from the header and other
exhaust piping.
Note: 4 foot section will cover one cable or
can be cut in half to cover 2 feet of both cables inside the engine
bay
