Evening guys.

Just wanted to say I installed these yesterday. Bit of a b*****d to get it right and had to take apart and put back together about 5 times. But is 100% worth the £20 they cost.

Bought via Torque GT.
https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/jdm-parts/select-car/honda/integra-dc5/transmission.html

I have the current upgrades to accompany:

Stock shifter base
K-Tuned billet shifter arm
Hybrid racing delrin shifter bushes
Tegiwa gearbox bushes
Hybrid racing gear selector springs.
Skunk2 gearknob

Upgrades to do:
Hybrid racing upgraded detent springs

I noticed straight away the gearstick springs quite firmly and rapidly back into neutral when changing gear and feels alot "fresher". The amount of times ive missed 3rd when trying to shift quick. Now I literally just push up on the gearstick when in 2nd and it rapidly goes into neutral to bang into 3rd, way.....way....way better.

From what I've researched (correct me if I'm wrong as I could be) but the detent springs I've ordered keep pressure on the gearstick to stop it popping out of gear as easily. I havnt recieved these yet as on back order but will update accordingly.

Link for the selector spring install below:

PLEASE NOTE: if you do this install and get stuck or everything falls apart, like it did for me drop me a message and I'll happily talk you through it.

Happy vteccing guys

Done these before. Can be a little tricky but they do make a huge difference

I did them around 5/6 years on a previous dc5, can only vaguely remember doing them. I used the M-Tec race version which was very popular at the time

No I haven‘t but I‘ve heard they definitely are for the work involved. Remove the gearbox mount, undo bolt, change spring, put bolt back in. Can‘t remember exactly how many there is to do, 3 I think
