Today we install the Alta Performance short shifter adapter onto the 2018 Type R! It's a process to get all of the panels off, but it is 100% worth getting it done. Once the short shifter is installed, it's like a totally new gear box!

Man i just love how you're always thankful to everyone and I'm glad that you are this blessed to have such amazing people from our community supporting you and you well deserve it with all the hard work you're putting in! Keep it up brother!

[@alvekovius361]

Dustin, one certainly has to admire the way you face and conquer new challenges. I like your philosophy and the way you live and seem to love life. You will be successful at whatever you put your mind to. Best wishes.

[@Xxstevie12xX]

love how you’re so thankful, deffo one of my favourites youtubers. Thank you for the awesome videos! watching from scotland:)

[@chris_in_kamp7]

Awesome idea to go for wider content. Super cool to watch your daily life. Definitely my favorite channel! Keep it up!

[@Mik3Mcflyy]

Super proud of you broski! Keep it coming

[@camacdav000]

As you thank us! We (or at least me) I thank you for just really giving all effort into all your videos! & putting up great content. Am glad how successful everything has been for you man! You deserve it, we’ve literally seen you go through ups & downs with your cars. & look now where you are 3 of your favorite cars! Am happy for you man.🤙🏽🤙🏽 keep killing it man!

[@calisti555]

Just installed it today and I adjusted the adapter to it’s lowest, shortest setting. Now it’s the same short throw I had in my 04 STI with the Kartboy short shifter. I did have the whiteline gearbox bushings with it also. It’ll allows me to shift faster, down shift better with confidence it’ll be going into each gate. This improves drivability tremendously. Best mod so far!

[@_tmaikeo6234]

When I had my civic I was amazed by the short shifter adapter too. Glad you are doing good. And taking time to yourself

[@marcoj85]

That Mickey sticker at the end 😂 A lot of work to take apart the whole central console for that one small part but clearly makes the shifting much much shorter and faster 👌🏻 good job bro

[@Oc3anMaster]

Just a little bit of helpful advice, as someone who has installed a lot of these short shift adapters on Civics this gen and of past, I highly recommend you put some type of tape over the Allen screws that tighten themselves along the ball/shaft of the original shifter connection point. They will eventually unscrew themselves over time due to vibrations and general shifting use. You can also use something like thread locker blue if your so inclined, but the non messy way IMO is just some simple tape wrapped around it twice over, it will keep them in place and prevent them from vibrating loose. If you don't do this, in a month or two from now, you will find that the shifter doesn't go into gear smoothly and may completely bind up because the ball that connects to that weird connection to the linkage has loosened up and fallen out and it's not engaging the gear correctly. Anyways, love the videos, keep up the great work! Hopefully I'll get myself a Type-R in the future.

[@dustiinw]

i was actually thinking of that. When i go back in to do the shifter lock, i'll do that!

[@Lilwonton6]

Thomas from Alta told me this" No this shouldn’t happen, we’ve used a similar design for another part for a long time with out any issues. It’s a clamp design, so when you tighten the screws down it holds pressure on the screws both ways."

[@cindysue5474]

Loctight will work just fine.

[@Paxi801]

Awesome Video. My family Has rented out a house just down the street of the beach. Love cruising down that road next to the pier, windows down enjoying the view

[@YayRNS.]

I try to support your as much as I can by watching your videos and hitting the like button. I sadly can't buy your merchandise I'm just a kid but keep on putting out good content.

[@BENYEET]

unknown temptation we are on the same boat but i live paycheck to paycheck so i have no room for his merchandise 😣

[@BENYEET]

Or any for that matter

[@dustiinw]

The Type R is coming along so nicely!

[@geraldmanzanarez7157]

Bro that sounds great 💪🏼

[@goochpatty9280]

Dustin’s videos > everything else

[@anthonypiazza3207]

I think life's pulling you in the direction of fitness videos. The people have spoken. Roll with it man

[@Gladdiator]

Would be really cool to see fitness videos to help me out in the learning process so I'm definitely looking forward to that. It's also so cool to see the brand grow. It's definitely my favorite brand and it would be a dream come true to be a designer for it someday. The work that you put into your videos shows how much of a quality KZbin channel you have grown and gives a good reputation to the quality of your brand. I love all the angles and edits in your videos. Your hard work shows bro!

[@sakchaser.joseee6983]

First love ur vids watching from Florida

[@JayWoozband]

sick edit; loved the depth of field in today's vid

[@jamiegilmour1677]

dank meme I

[@danielscott688]

Starting to like this type r I’ll admit it I wasn’t a fan at start but starting to like it more as you do more things to it

[@HeavyToModified]

dope video fam!

[@KayCeeAye]

Much love all the way from down under!

[@mattmacdowall9788]

Dustin definitely should add a video of the diet eating It would really help me out because I’m trying to do the same, love the videos too keep up the good work

[@justinsantiago5030]

Damn I love your shirts !

[@gilbertbryan1291]

Sometimes the simple mods are always the ones that make a huge difference. Though cant wait for more performance mods

[@holyfuckity101]

Lets goooo! Dustin man legends for life 🤟🏽 also you ever gonna restock the reaper tee?😂

[@averystilwell9054]

Sick bro!

[@Solefresh10]

You should do segments of fitness, think it will do better for the channel. How to meal prep, what’s macros ect. That shifter bushing goes on the top of the transmission underneath the shift cable. Thanks for the content Dustin!

[@chrishuynh6332]

Why is Dustin such a GOAT? Honestly? Why?

[@milesshaffer7477]

Hey Dustin so stoked I was able to pick up the legends banner. I was wondering if any trimming or cutting was needed and if so how’d you do it. It will be going on my 2015 WRX just like yours ;) thanks. Keep it up!

[@rason6428]

You not suppose to be that bored with such a cool ride !

[@weijieang4371]

The video is making me giddy like I can’t continue watching man

[@jdmkidk24]

Ill be getting ready for my 4th meet in November in 7 weeks. Fellow power lifter here! Beautiful type r sbd the throws look great

[@dustiinw]

nice!

[@pdlclll]

Just keep doing you Dustin. The rest will continue to work itself out.

[@calisti555]

Just ordered one. I used to do car audio installations so removing the center console shouldn’t be an issue as long as I make sure I don’t break or loose any clips. It would’ve helped others how some panels needed to be removed by lifting up or straight out, screw locations which you did mention.

[@travelguy1564]

Where did you order the adapter from? Will it work for my 2018 civic LX 6spd? Thanks!

[@austindavis7528]

Dustin has the best customer service

[@cannedgorilla1062]

WOOOOO. I LUVV THIS CHANNEL!!!!!

[@dustiinw]

you the man!

[@Jensen_MacD]

Dustin, some more workout stuff would be sweet to watch or more powerlifting related stuff. - A car enthusiast and powerlifter

[@aarondickens1882]

Yeah fitness stuff would be great!

[@djverbz]

Fitness videos would be great Dustin, along with your meal prep and related content!!

[@CobraKaiNoMercy]

The throws on the Perrin Shift Knob are so much better than stock. 😃

[@TheWesbit]

Hey Dustin, if you're looking for any more performance parts for your type r check out acuity instruments. They make amazing products that I'm sure you'll love. I'm running some of their stuff on my 9th gen civic and it's awesome.

[@Frosty__media]

Im here to learn more. Whats the short shifter for? What are the benefits?

[@travislockey-chatham5704]

Bro what's your workout schedule? Are you an every day or ex 5 days type thing??

[@StrangerOfficial]

Duuuude, let’s see Mickey drive it!

[@ShizaP]

Type R clean 👌

[@loganbooker1084]

If you don’t post the competition I’ll be pissed man. We need that video

[@leosnerdtalk]

7:12 "oh shit thats pretty tight" hahah

[@firemanfitness111]

Restock the green rising sun T 🤙🏼

[@championwill4173]

So norlly.I love it

[@alsmejia662]

Can't wait for the full day of eating lol 👌 I always like the videos before watching 🤙

[@championwill4173]

I wish I could subscribe a million times

[@nickgomez2226]

fitness addition would be dope

[@calisti555]

Have you noticed the clunk without having the shifter cable lock down? If you’ve already installed it has it removed the clunking issue if you even had it after the adjustable short shifter install? I think stock is still long for me compared to the short shifter I installed on my 04 STI.

[@darklash-]

Hey man not sure if you'll see this but since your WRX isn't considered totaled, I don't know if you were planning on doing a short shifter on it when you get it back but I do want to say it is a major pain definitely harder then the civic here. But I do very much recommend a Boomba Shifter I have enjoyed mine quite a bit for awhile. Just thought I would throw this out there

[@Nultic]

for stuff like this ALWAYS try to find color instructions. Something I wish manufacturers would do is add color instructions. I was installing a whiteline strut mount on my STi and couldn't figure out the bracket for the AC lines. As soon as they sent me color instructions it was done in 30 mins!

[@morrwheeles]

Sweet brother

[@K1IB]

Sup Dustin!

[@upgradeNEVER]

If you ever need help with car stuff, Mickey's your man. That man is amazing. Just steal him from TJ lol

[@jayr2238]

Now that you’re subie is getting fixed all you’re missing is the focus RS lol

[@franklinsantos5779]

Bro why don’t you do the paint protection on the type r like you did on the Evo?? I see some scratches already ☹️

[@DerpyWRX]

Definitely do a day of eating video!!!!

[@twisted9780]

You need a word count on sketchy. Good video bro

[@aldousafable7279]

dat sticker from mickey tho 😂

[@philippesturm6139]

Yeah do it, id love to see some fitness content :D

[@williecastellanos6544]

Yesss I’m trying to gain weight too but I can’t get above 165!!! Show how you eat, I want to gain

[@sako-xb2bq]

the legends stuff is actually well designed so i think it sells itself u just have the channel to market it

[@360Visualtravieso36]

Rather see Dustin than TJ's videos

[@SIRICKO]

I’m not really into fitness stuff that much but I’ll love for you to add it in it would be a good addition, to the channel.

[@giovannireyes374]

SI RICH KO

[@titong-galit_yp4158]

What kind of shift knob did you use on your type r? Thanks

[@goclan4479]

small things can make the biggest differance

[@calisti555]

You could tell it sits lower by the boot smushing up more between the base and the knob.

[@alfonsotejeda6931]

Any advantage talking about performance ? Any HP, torque, save fuel etc?? Or just is it for look and feel matter

[@dustiinw]

For a short shifter? No, it’s a driver mod. Just makes the car feel better and adds a shorter throw

[@Sergioo951]

Yeah Dustin show more of your fitness lifestyle bro! That would be dope creativity man!

[@chattyveith5004]

Dustin do a Biweekly movie review. You can change the time span but do like an in depth view of a movie.

[@Alex.running]

Dustin, why i cant find it on their website?

[@jantzen9183]

I'm so jealous I want to live in California so much

[@rhysbertrand8903]

I can’t see how it would sit lower than stock when the only thing you’re changing is the cable mount below the shifter pivot, unless you had a smaller shifter knob. Should’ve test driven it with the console all out though cos you would’ve been kicking yourself if you had to take it apart again!!

[@ryanilano1692]

Where is the link for the short shifter?

[@fourtyfourone]

Dude, whered you buy that short shifter kit?

[@BrokenTrojanz]

You thought it was Notchy now wait til that bushing goes in!

[@francedelacuesta5435]

Yeah go for that fitness vid atleast once a week. And for the shiftknob i think it is shorter than before.

[@dustiinw]

thanks man!

[@jjsmith5289]

Waiting on this fitness channel any updates?

[@joshuamonsod1685]

Heart this for no reason

[@maenala6376]

Is it already have a short shift

[@alessanchez3623]

Can’t find the short shift adapter man! 😔

[@johnone6575]

Let's get Dustin to 300k Subs!!!

[@dustiinw]

yes!!

[@antzzzgia7374]

Yes, please make a health channel and a full day of eating video please ❤️

[@ebbonfallis348]

I wonder if Dustin’s going to take Tj’s old shop?

[@calvinsaephan3999]

what weight class are you competing in?
