Hybrid Racing Performance Shifter Cables - 06-11 Civic Si (FG2 / FA5)
These shifter cables were built for drivers who want the best shifting performance out of the 06-11 Honda Civic Si, and they've been dialed in through years of track and street use in our own test cars. Hybrid Racing shifter cables are a performance upgrade over the stock OEM cables. The solid rod ends, permanently lubricated core, spherical bearings, and aluminum end links give the cables a firmer, tighter feel than OEM, which means fewer missed shifts and a more connected feel to the chassis. They're heat resistant up to 225°F with a max bend radius of 5" for the best cable life.
What Makes Them Better Than OEM
The job of these cables is to take the flex out of the shift linkage. Along with the permanently lubricated core and spherical bearings, they run stainless steel push rods and stainless steel swivel support tubes in place of the factory plastic ones, which are a known failure point on the OEM cables. The rod ends and mounting bushings are CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, then black anodized before being laser etched with the Hybrid Racing logo. Every plastic piece that flexes or breaks on the stock cables has been replaced with metal, so the crisp shift you get on install day stays crisp.
These were built to give drivers a cable they don't have to think about, on the street or during demanding racing use.
Direct Replacement for Your OEM Cables
These are a direct replacement for your factory shifter cables. The aluminum bushings make installation a little simpler, but the bigger win is dropping another plastic part that flexes and causes a sloppy shift.
Because these are built for performance, expect a small increase in NVH, meaning a little more transmission noise and vibration can reach the cabin. The Civic has plenty of interior panels and a deep console, so it stays minimal, but it won't be quite as quiet as the stock parts. That's an honest tradeoff for the tighter shift.
Driving a Different 8th Gen Civic?
These cables are specific to the 06-11 Civic Si. If you're in a different 8th gen Civic, grab the right set for your car:
- Shifter Cables for the 07-11 Civic Type R (FD2) - the JDM FD2 uses a unique transmission bracket and needs its own cables
- Shifter Cables for the 06-11 Civic Non-Si - for the DX, LX, and EX R18 cars
What's Included
- Two Hybrid Racing performance shifter cables
- Two cotter pins
- Clips for the shifter end
- New hardware for the shifter cable mounting plates that attach to the transmission bracket
You'll reuse your OEM center bracket and cable seal.
