Upgrading the drivetrain on a FL5 Civic Type R can provide several benefits including improved acceleration, increased power transfer, and enhanced overall performance. Upgrading the transmission, clutch, and differential can also lead to smoother and more precise shifting, better control in the corners, and reduced wheel spin. Additionally, upgrading the drivetrain can also improve fuel economy and extend the lifespan of other vital components. A high-quality drivetrain upgrade can greatly enhance the driving experience and overall performance of the FL5 Civic Type R. Below you’ll find anything from gear knobs, bushings, synchros and clutches up to complete sequential gearbox, along with everything else you’ll need to upgrade, repair or maintain your drivetrain.
Bad news: it's true. Honda intentionally makes their rubber shifter cable bushings very compliant in an effort to give the car a more tame feel. For many drivers, that's ideal. Unfortunately, this disconnects the driver from feeling the transmission during shifts, often leading to missed shifts or slow shifting in racing conditions. A less compliant plastic or metal bushing is the ideal solution, but without a spherical bearing, the bushing will cause the cables to bind and fatigue. That's why ACUITY has designed this kit with a custom acetal and aluminium spherical bushing. Also unlike most bushings on the market, ACUITY's design incorporates elastomer rings to provide the best fit possible with your cables. Experience a solid, smooth shift that will make you fall in love with your car again.
Understanding the Science of that Perfect Shift Feel:
Years of experience have taught the engineers at ACUITY that there are many elements to a refined, responsive shift. Compliance from flimsy components in the shift linkage leaves the driver feeling detached from the transmission. ACUITY combats this by replacing the OEM rubber bushings with much stiffer Acetal and 6061-T6 Aluminum. A large-diameter, custom spherical bearing minimizes long-term wear and tear while eliminating the binding that is caused by most aftermarket solid shifter cable bushings. Loose fitting components also contribute to a poor shifting feel. That's why ACUITY uses integral o-rings on the outside of each bushing to provide a perfect fit with your OEM cables. Tested on street cars, track cars, and ACUITY's unreasonably violent shifter testing machine, these bushings are designed to be robust and proven to last. Each bushing kit is laser etched with a unique serial number and includes stainless steel hardware to help prevent long-term corrosion, keeping your bushings looking great even longer. And if all of that isn't impressive enough, the bushings are over 20% lighter than their OEM counterparts, weighing in at only 48 grams (with hardware).

RV6 Upgraded Helical 4th Gear | Honda Civic Type R | FK8 2.0T K20C1 | 2017+
Regular price
£625.00 GBP
Originally developed for endurance racing teams. The RV6 FK8 helical 4th gear is finally available to the public. We have spent the last 3 years testing and refining the design and materials to take the abuse. These gears feature an extremely strong helical profile with more contact area. The lower tooth count and larger teeth allow these gears to handle more torque and shock load. As most of you know 4th gear is the weak link in the FK8 transmission. It is usually the first failure point in high-power applications.

Spoon Sports | Clutch Slave Hose | Honda Civic Type R | FL5 K20C1 2.0T | 2023+
Regular price
£135.00 GBP
Some of the stock clutch lines use rubber hoses but in sports driving, the expansion during pressurisation is large and loss occurs, so it is not possible to transmit 100% of the pressure.
The SPOON Sports Clutch Slave Hose uses stainless steel mesh with excellent pressure resistance and heat resistance, and by suppressing expansion to a minimum even at high temperatures, we have realized a direct feel without loss
