Can You Use a 10th Gen Civic Shifter in a EK Civic?
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie

We love a good upgrade. Sometimes an upgrade for another car can be repurposed to make another car even better. That is the case with our new Acuity Instruments 10th generation short shifter. The 10th gen short shifter from Acuity fixes two issues we have with our OEM Honda k series shifter in our K24Z swapped 6th gen Civic hatchback: the throw and shifter placement. This gorgeous short shifter features adjustable throw gate spacing and height to dial that perfect feel.

The Acuity 10th gen Civic short shifter has been used in non-10th gen Civic applications, but the information on what is needed to get it to work properly is not readily available. So we had some figuring out to do.

Here are the parts we used:
Acuity Instruments 10th Gen Civic Fully Adjustable Performance Short Shifter
Acuity Instruments K20C/L15B-Swap Shifter Adapter Plate for 10th Gen Civic Shifters
Acuity Instruments 10th Gen Civic/Accord Shifter Cable Adapter Bracket for K20Z3 Transmissions
Honda OEM Shifter Cable which they call “Wire, Change” – Honda (54310-TGH-A01)
