I was saying something similar the other day. They could literally charge twice as much for any of their products and it would be worth it and they KNOW it, but they don't to be a decent brand. One of the best aftermarket companies for Honda EVER

Just went from a K Tuned billet shifter to an Acuity 4-way and holy crap there is no comparison. The Acuity is hands down THE better shifter. The K-Tuned would often pop out of gear or refuse to go into gears. All shifts felt tentative. Before I went and changed tranny fluid I decided to switch to Acuity and now all shifts immediately felt firmer, easier and very slick. Throw was very short. Most satisfying shifter yet. I can’t even imagine how it’ll feel when I put in Amsoil tranny fluid. The engineering and quality on Acuity looks and feels incredible.

the application matters. I have an 03 CLS and just installed the new Hybrid shifter and it's definitely better than the ktuned I had on my 08 TLS. neither shifters had the springs depicted in this video, so I feel like some applications just aren't as great as others from the same company.

@@sk-philthy if you are talking about reverse lock out. All K 6spd has reverse lock out. So with the solenoid engaged you wont be able to go to rev. But if its disebgaged (no speed detected or key off) when you go from 4-5 you can go too far over to where rev is. Then you wont get into 5th because you went too far. Only K serries 6spd and matching ecu has this feature.

I’m definitely looking forward to getting acuity. I have the HR V2 and it failed twice on me. Sent it back and they said it had to be tuned to spec. Now it doesn’t even grip on the swivel part. So it’s basically loose…heard too many horror stories of the ktuned shifter. Acuity looks promising but I think I’ll prefer the non swivel so that I can mitigate that part ever failing again.

@MUM!N Actually, it’s not the engine that matters. It all depends on the transmission. In reality its the shift assembly that is mounted on the transmission. For example, you can mount a TSX/Accord transmission to a RSX K20 engine and these RSX style shifters wont work. The pattern would be backwards. Thats why Ktuned makes an RSX shifter and a seperate TSX/Accord shifter.

Everything that K-Tuned sells, is made from China. The K-Tuned "replica" parts on Ebay, are just K-Tuned parts that aren't branded its junk and its proven to be junk. Join k20a on facebook and search K-Tuned. There is a huge thread with a high rate of product failure. The only item that hasn't failed on me that I purchased from K-Tuned was their map sensor plug. Throttle body would stick open like crazy, oil cap leaks, dip stick pops out on an N/A K24 with normal driving, throttle cable came apart after less than 30 miles of use and destroyed itself, street spec shifter cables binded after 200 miles of normal driving. Customer service was not helpfull whatsoever. Hybrid Racing isn't a "low budget" quality lol and there customer service is fantastic. Their products are far superior to anything K-Tuned will ever produce. Haven't had a failure since I switched to Hybrid.
