The K-Tuned Billet Shifter Base Plate is designed to install an RSX Type-S or comparable shifter box without cutting a hole in the exhaust tunnel of the chassis. This setup is preferred by many racers, especially road racerss, because it mounts the shifter higher up in the vehicle, keeping shifting duties closer to the driver and the steering. It also leaves a lot more room below the car for large exhaust systems.

The Shifter Base Plate was designed to route your shifter cables inside the car. Generally users set them up to exit through the heater hose hole in the firewall, that is, if the heater core is fully removed. Optionally, you can drill your own new hole to feed the shifter cables through while leaving your heater core intact.

As a final note, we want to give credit to R-Crew as the original designer of this part. We were sad to learn recently that they are no longer in business. Without an alternative, customers and vendors requested that we make our own version of this base plate.

K-swapped vehicle applications: 88-91 Civic/CRX, 92-95 Civic, 96-00 Civic, 90-93 Integra, 94-01 Integra

Note: The shifter base plate will NOT allow use of the factory shifter center console for the mentioned vehicles.
