HR Shift Cables
Posted: 08/06/2009 11:27AM

These cables are designed to be upgraded replacements for the OEM cables. The solid rod ends and bushings give the Hybrid Racing cables a firmer, tighter feel over OEM RSX cables. In addition, the plastic swivel support tubes that are known to break on the OEM cables have been replaced with stainless steel swivel support tubes, which are significantly harder to break. These cables are meant to give peace of mind to people who don’t want to worry about their shifter cables breaking when they’re shifting hard and fast during demanding racing applications. These cables are 30% thicker than the OEM RSX cables.
Are these cables a direct replacement for my OEM RSX style cables?
The Hybrid Racing Street Duty shifter cables are the same diameter as your OEM cables and will fit just like your OEM cables do. It should be noted that the OEM cable that is controlled by the right/left motion of the shifter has a plastic twist-lock bushing on the shifter end. Hybrid Racing cables use a spring clip and aluminum bushing instead. This aluminum bushing simplifies installation a bit, but more importantly, it gets rid of yet another plastic part that tends to flex on the OEM cables, leading to a sloppy feeling shift. The extra spring clip that you will need to install the Hybrid Racing cables is included with the cables, so you will not need to buy any other parts. An easy to follow installation sheet is included with each set of cables to make instillation as worry free as possible.
It should be noted that the Race Duty cables are thicker than OEM. In most cases, they will mount up with no problems or modifications. However, in certain cases, some holes that the cables go through will need to be widened. If you are using the Race Duty cables on an OEM-style shifter mounted to a Karcepts adapter plate in a K swapped chassis, you will need to widen the holes in the Karcepts adapter plate where the cables pass through the plate.
What is included with these shifter cables?
Aside from 2 shifter cables, each shifter cable set includes 4 cotter pins, 2 delrin washers, and 2 stainless steel washers for affixing your cables to your transmission and shifter. Each set also comes with an “m” bracket for affixing the shifter cables to the chassis in K swap applications. If you are mounting these into an RSX, this bracket will not be needed. Finally, each set of cables comes with an install tips sheet that shows how the cables should be mounted to the transmission and shifter.
