The PERFECT Honda Civic B/D Series Shifter Upgrade? | K-Tuned Shifter X2 Install
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- The Budget Honda Civic Build gets a BIG Shifter Upgrade thanks to K-Tuned! The Shifter X2 is an adjustable manual transmission shifter that COMPLETELY changes the underpowered driving experience! Along with the Circuit Hero Shift plate, this may be one of the BEST mods to my Honda Civic yet!
in this video, I show you how to install the K-Tuned Shifter X2 and TR Shift knob on my Honda Civic! This short (or long) shifter is designed for Honda's running a B Series or D Series Motors (Vtec and NON-Vtec) such as EG's, EK's, Integras, and so on. This mod alone will transform the feel of the stock Civic gearbox, giving it a notchy and more precise shift FEEL! This shifter not only looks cool, but makes my Civic way more fun to drive. As many people know, I love improving the driving experience to make my Honda Civic not feel like...a Honda Civic. I would say next to my Honda S2000 steering wheel upgrade, this shifter takes things to the next level. We also install upgraded shifter bushings into my Civic to reduce vibration and tighten up the sloppy feel in gear. What could be better right?
K-Tuned makes a TON of insanely nice parts for K-Series Cars, but they also make a handful of Parts for the SOHC and DOHC lovers out there! Needless to say, I loved the idea of an adjustable shifter to complement my interior and make my little single jingle more fun to bang gears. Circuit Hero was kind enough to send out a Shift plate to go along with the Shifter X2 and it looks amazing! Huge shoutout to both company's for sending these goodies out! The K-Tuned shifter giveaway will take place on my Instagram: alldayanthony_ so make sure to follow me so you don't miss out! I'll make sure to include links down below for my same setup!

"It's not even in all the way yet and I'm already excited!" - not my Mrs
Lol!!!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY good to see some more Civic videos dude! Can't wait to get mine road legal again, got to rebuild brakes, replace an engine mount, do CV boots and pull a dent out of it 😂 Just a weekend's worth of work!
I know them feels hahaha
That sucks for u lol
Yes this the civic vlog I kno and love 💯💪🏾
Haha of course dude!
If you want to replace the rear shifter bushings, try using a blowtorch to burn out the bushing and then hammer it out when it’s still warm. I had the same issues when replacing my cars control arm bushing and the blow torch helped out a lot!
When I did my V6 swap in my 6th gen civic back in 05 or 06, I went with the Hybrid Racing shifter kit.
Totally changed the feel of the car, before that, I was using just the stock 06 accord shifter.
Looking at these new shifters from Hybrid and K Tuned, I only imagine the difference now.
damn u j swapped a ek??? thats slic
This series inspired me to build a civic in the future. This is very clean !!!! I’m so impressed.
Another great video for the home wrenchers! The steering wheel and shift knob (shifter kit) are such tangible mods that give you a good driving experience, and the car sounds good too. Looking forward to the next one.
Absolutely! Love the feel of driving the car now!
i’m not sure if you still look at these man but i buy an Si on tomorrow and i’ve been stuck on your civic vlogs for the weeks leading up to it. thank you truly. you’ve made me super excited and have reminded me why i should value and not thrash it 🙏🏽 much love
Just got my em1 si, definitely think it needs This
I remember when you had only a thousand or so subscribers, and seeing how far you’ve come, awesome man! Keep it up!
I love this part 23:33 “damn this car is slow as hell”😂
Haha it’s the truth!
I just installed a short shifter and brass shifter linkage bushings and its a night and day difference I could not be happier.
The bushings make such a huge difference!
I look forward to all of your videos. Thx for the upload!
Edit: idk if u remember but I told you a couple videos ago that I would get a job and Civic. I got the confirmation for a job today! Just need to find a Civic 😉🤙
Hell yeah man! Congrats!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY thx man! Keep up the content 😎
The civic blog I know and love, now k swap it!
I definitely would want to swap it soon!
I always thought people exaggerated the effectiveness of simple mods like this...until i put a short throw in my 00 Si. It really does make a considerable difference. When i did mine it was at the tail end of my mod list, so maybe it made everything else just work better together.
Stage 2 clutch, Jackson Racing Supercharger w/ 8psi, 4-2-1 DC headers, and a huge list of other bolt ons...then i put the shifter kit on there. Holy shit did it ever make a difference!!
My car was stolen in 06, 3 months after i paid it off and switched it to liability insurance. I miss flying around in those light little cars of the early 2000s....
Awesome channel dude, i just subbed. Lookin forward to new content.
Dang man I would have been heart broken
Glad to see you still thriving on TH-cam hope it stays this way!
Thanks man!
Acuity Instruments shifter is the best short shifter I’ve ever used.
Interesting!
I made my own circuit hero shift plate I did not use aluminum I use steel so it can be painted but I polish it myself and add a clear coat and I use door jamb molding on it looks very clean easier to work with and the plastic gasket material that circuit hero sends you
It looks great with a wrinkle finish like you do your valve cover you can then put whatever logo your name whatever into the shift plate
Having your Mrs saying a dirty pun while holding the shifter would have been the icing on the cake 🤣🤣🤣
Had to but the counter weight off mine too to not run into issues as well. thanks for showing this step.
I've been driving my Prelude with the bootless shifter for some time and I have to say this open socket thing is going to accumulate a lot of dust, hair and debis, which is really hard to clean thoroughly, get ready for that.
That’s what vacuum attachments are for!
Hybrid racing b/d series shifters are the best there is. Period.
Yep I agree even tho I've never got to try one. Wish I spent a lil more an got it instead of k tuned its alright but u can tell by just looking the hybrid racing one is way better all around
@@joshdane5657 I have one in my EM1 and it's so crisp and precise. I love it. Worth every bit of 350$ lol
Man that looks great another great video keep up the good work
Love it. I was contemplating getting the circuit hero plate. Sold!!!! Looks good man!
It’s an awesome addition to the interior for sure!
Anthony those jack stands have been recalled!
Different model number than what I have
So glad i picked it up! I also ordered solid shifter mounts n bushing along with innovative adjustable linkage. Cant wait to get my project running
They sell a weighted shifter ball for the top of your shifter rod that helps a hell of alot with shifting each gears trust me you will love that alot bro.
The k tuned knob is weighted
The shifter spring is a nice upgrade. You can collapse the stock spring easily just by squeezing it. Aftermarket piece is way stiffer. I highly recommend.
Yep that’s the plan!
Mans needs to make more videos. Want to know more about the civic
I have booth and I have to say hybrid racing has the best B/D shifter ever made Ktuned is coo though.
I 100% agree. I own both the K Tuned shifter and Hybrid Racing, the Hybrid Racing is SO MUCH better. Seeing this video, I can see that K Tuned copied almost every aspect of the Hybrid Racing shifter.
I'd agree too
Facts love the vids si Ricko. Anybody wantn to check out either shifter needs to watch this man's channel he installed them a lil different than everbody else it kool af. He got sum clean ass builds
@@joshdane5657 Thanks my man much appreciate it,
1:42 "That is sharp on the inside" proceeds to rub finger on sharp edge.
I unfortunately have a auto '96 Civic that isnt top notch showroom floor worthy still clean for being lightly modded, and seeing your civic makes me wish I'd keep doing more to improve the quality of the car and get it back to its glory days
I really love your content, mainly because your vlogs are not the typical expensive this or that upgrades that other youtuber does.
Beautiful car! I get excited every time i see a new video!
Thanks man! Always trying to get our more content!
Hey man. I just owned a 1996 Civic and I'm so jealous you have junkyards in your country. I just need head and tail lights for my car and it's impossible to get one here. Love all your videos BTW. Greetings from Philippines
hey Ant you should look into getting an Innovative B shifter linkages for your car that's what I run on my Civic works great, also t joint that attaches to the transmission can be removed so when it does go bad all you have to do is buy that piece
I’ll have to check that out!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY 👍 keep up the good work
He's got a d series tho don't he? The b series linkage wouldn't work if he's still d series the end tht attaches to the trans is different and the length is too
They might make a d series linkage as well tho not too sure
I have mine matched with innovative linkage it made the car drivability much more pleasant
You sooooooo need a baby turbo and 8 to 10 psi on that stock motor
What ecu do i need to tune it?
@@JordiHermsen96 convert to obd1 and run hondata v3 or v2 in a p28 ecu
I want a 99 civic now :(
yours is the cleanest civic I've seen!
Thanks man!
the s2k speedo mod is a super sick mod also. i almost did it to my ek when i had it.
Deserves more subs and likes but I mean give him a year of consistent coherent and he’ll have 100k
Waited all day for this upload 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for coming to watch man!
Loving the content! One of the better honda vlogs. But i think you should try out the hybrid racing one. 😉
I hear that’s a good one as well
Looks Beautiful
The shifter setup is so clean 🔥
It is!
Clean little civic here.......nice mods man very sharp......
NS here!!! Great video and great job!!! Nice work!!!
Thanks man!
You should check out Speed Academy's K-Swap Civic if you haven't seen it yet. That $8,000 shifter they put in is orgasmic.
I’ve seen it and love it!
That looks so sick! Can't get enough of the content you put out! Have you looked into upgrading the shifter springs in your transmission to tighten up the throw? 🤔
Yep! I mention that in the video lol
My bad, I completely missed that part. If you think that the short shifter made the d-series trans feel about as notchy as the evo, just wait until you install the shifter spring and detent springs haha
The build is definitely coming along
nice video dude. I'm planing to overhaul my shifter too on my em1.
You won’t regret it!
I don't know why this video was reccomend to me, I drive a Milano Red 2000 Honda Civic Ex... Nine Video!
16:30 that just might be my exact problem! I installed the same shifter on my gsr turbo ek hatch and having the same exact problem. I'm about to go out there and give it a try of cutting that weight off and see if that helps! I will be right back!
Wow congrats on the K-Tuned sponsorship!
Thanks man! Believing in the little guy!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY You deserve it! Keep it up 👍
when i installed a short throw kit with new bushings it made creaking noises for a couple months under engine braking and acceleration so be wary of that and dont think your trans is broken
Yeah I could see that happening for sure
Yea lol mine creaked for awhile but it has quitened down an broken in now lol. The hybrid racing shifter really is alot better but I cudnt afford that lol I could barely afford the 179 I spent on the k tuned
Love it man! Change the transmission fluid for those smoother shifts if you haven't already
Yep! Changed it out last year
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Good man!
A shifter plate that looks cleaner than the shift boot.
Yea sure, now you got a 5 inch hole. Very cool.
I’d be awesome with the OEM boot in.
But hey. Apart from that, everything is awesome.
Anthony. Look up speed factory and get one of their shifter upgrade detent springs. Ktuned only offers detent springs for the k series and b series
how come no one knows you are a youtuber? this is good content really
Ehh, I do my own thing. I enjoy making videos regardless of how popular I am
Awesome video. Was always curious about those k-tune shifters. Looks rad
They are freaking amazing. One of my favorite mods yet!
ALLDAYANTHONY def need that spring for shifter now to complete the feel. Like you said only 20 bucks lol
in Australia we say Alley-minium instead of aluminium
This is such a clean daily!!!!
It’s getting there more and more!
It’s not even my car and I’m getting exited😂but you I looks soooo good I love the Honda videos
Haha I like to think this car is everyone’s car! That’s why I like bringing you all along!
Well, You can try this combo with the Dyno Designs Tyrannosaur Tightener Clamp. I have that in my EF and that would amp the experience up.
im about to go pick up my in laws 98 civic ex, and did a test drive on it and that was how i feel lmao 23:33. and i drive a challenger srt8
Great vid, but you don't have to actuate the clutch to shift as long as the motor is off, lol
Dude the plate looks fresh 👌
It looks so good!
If it works half as well as it looks ,you will have a great driving experience
18:18 gotta put that quote on a shirt or something lol
You should get the SpeedFactory Dseries shifter spring also !
I mention those in the video!
My friend , have the same shifter, in his Honda civic and it's an rattle mess the whole time.
I put loctite on my threads and there is no rattle now
I can't imagine it shifts better than the stock GSR shifter but I want to do this simply for the looks.
I’ve felt the stock GSR shifter. This feels better imo
Try some detent springs too. Quick upgrade but it makes a big difference
I mention that in the video!
The look of this shifter makes me wanna trade in my wrx for a civic
Whoa let’s not get a little crazy here 😅
Haha yeah I don’t know about that
Alldayanthony vs Obsessed Garage, the battle for the cleanest Civic.
Love the content, love the style an I love how clean you are doing all of it. Keep it up!
I don’t stand a chance in that competition lol
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Maybe not today, but I definitely see you up there :D
I hope I win just hearing you talk about it makes me excited 😩
Hey man who knows!
THAT LOOKS REALLY SWEET BROTHER NOW I KNOW WHAT A [K]-TUNED SHIFTER WOULD LOOK IN MY 2OOO CIVIC AS WELL AND WHAT A BEAUTY WITH THAT CIRCUIT HERO PLATE COMPLETES THE OVER ALL LOOK WELL THAT'S A BUST FOR ME LOL NOT BEING INTO OR NOT HAVING SOCIAL MEDIA APP'S LIKE ALWAYS KEEP IT UP ANTHONY GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE FOLLOWERS ENTER TO WIN THAT GORGEOUS SHIFTER & KNOB ✌
It’s all good bro thanks for watching!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY THAT'S KOOL BROTHER THANKS FOR SHARING THE VIDEO WE ALL LOVE AT THE CIVIC 👍
You ever thought of doing an Engine Swap?
That Vtec on a D Series makes a difference
I bought a B16b swap for my civic and it had the same bottom bracket for the shifter as my d series
hell yea this would be perfect for my ek hatch on the daily drive and the track!
It’s an awesome mod man!
More civic vlogs tha we hopelly know and hopefully love to go content 💯👌
Thanks man! More to come!
You should've went with hybrid racing. I didn't have to drill or saw anything. Hybrid got perfect fitment. Ktuned nice too tho.
It was absolutely worth the cutting for the ktuned shifter
@@ALLDAYANTHONY For sure tho. Ktuned was my other option as well if I didn't get my hybrid shifter. I never driven a car with the ktuned shifter so I can't say it's bad either lol. Both are great brand.
@@effingwrecked1917 man I wish I got a hybrid racing for my ef sedan but I could barely afford the k tuned so im happy with it im just glad I haven't got to drive with or try out the hybrid yet or id be selling my k tuned an spending even more money on this car lol
Nice upgrade
Should paint the red metal black so if someone looks down the shift plate it's dark
My heart broke when you said the contest is through Instagram.. no social media here and I've got your car's twin 😭. Good luck to the contestants!
Dang man! Sorry I had to pick a platform and that seems the most popular haha
It is what it is. If I were meant to win I'd have ig lol
What seats are those? Soooo clean
I like the set up and all the up dates you do to that civic and I was wondering if a shifter like that will work on my 2001 Honda civic that I'm building it up as of now not for speed but like something to show off for a old school car. But I'm trying to keep it original so I like to know if you have some ideas for it?
You adding that shifter me trying to take mine out I don’t like it I just bought the car and it came with it and I want a oem
Nice content off topic where did you purchase your seat covers?
I have a video on them! ebay
Looks good! Need to install an apple car play double din 👌🏻 EK9 Type R aluminum pedals would look killer too
I agree that would look killer
ALLDAYANTHONY i agree with the CarPlay, I got a head unit that looks great and routed the usb to inside the cupholder/compartment area
That is a double din head unit tho...
K tune shifter with a d series. 🤦♂️ time for a swap man.
Don't sleep on the d series
I was thinking the same thing. With all the money spent on ricer mods there could have been at least a B-series in the garage at a minimum
Love the civic keep up the good work 👍👍
this is a clean ass coupe 🔥🔥
“God this car is slow as hell” is honestly great how you accept civics are usually slow because I know damn well I accepted it with mine 😂
Bro I will literally buy the car off of you 😍😍😍
Hope to win the giveaway! When is it and how do you enter???
Check out my Instagram!
get the speedfactory upgraded shifter detent springs. those will be the 2nd best upgrade to your shifting experience in a civic.
It’s on my list!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY just as i was typing this i heard you say it in the video lol
