Sort of. It's not gated, but it slides into gears with a satisfying chink.

Thanks, do you have the 5 or 6 speed? This needs a 6 speed specially on the motorways.

Will the Acuity bushing make the shift feel solid. Only thing I don't like about my 2019 fit is the shifter.

So i rotated the shift knob and it feels much better, WTH!It's done 1400km on the odometer. Maybe it's starting to break in?

We get a 6 speed in the states.

one of my first mods was to replace the shifter. I found the shape of the "ergo" to be annoying. It would never sit in the right spot. Shortly before junking my last car, i yanked the shifter (a ball) from it, and haven't looked back.

Yes. I am planning on putting a short shifter.

Now my next gripe is this.


What made Honda think putting the USB port up there was a good idea. Now my question. I noticed that overseas Jazz/Fit have the USB port where it should be down the bottom. Where can I buy this part?

OK, DHL Australia mixed up my order. But received my pedal spacer and bushing today. The pedal spacer makes the driving well better. Because you are on the gas quicker because it's up closer to you.

Next is my bushing. Try to get it done this weekend.

Acuity bushing in didn't really make a wow difference. But not bad.
