Hybrid Racing Cables Problem.

[mucter]

Best way to troubleshoot is to eliminate failure points.

Put your stock shifter back in.

Looks like I will swap out the shifter first. Then see what happens

The only reason I am not able to see the cables contributing play is because I have never seen a case of that, and I can't see any evidence for it based on the 2nd video you posted. Since the transmission levers move when you move the shifter, I am not seeing motion being lost in the cables. If there is a problem to be found, you'll need to be more methodical about finding it. Swapping out the shifter for a stock one and checking the shifting action is a good start. Unfortunately, if there is play, the next step would be to try the OEM shifter and OEM cables (without aftermarket bushings), which I assume is not an option.

I'm trying to help, but without someone on your end following the troubleshooting steps I'm suggesting, it's difficult for me to help you solve your problem. You're always welcome to send the cables in to be checked, but I would try to follow the suggested troubleshooting methods first, as I do not suspect we are going to find any problems with the cables.

Perhaps someone else using hr cables and a twm shifter can chime in with experience?

Were the cables designed using the stock shifter and bushings? Or with an aftermarket set? It could just be the fact that the parts don't work in the current combination. It's a risk that is always there when using parts from different companies.

Our parts are always designed to be compatible with OEM components. Making sure other companies do the same is out of the scope of design, obviously. Note that the cables do not require or allow the use of cable bushings, since they are built into the cables.

From what I am seeing in the 2 videos you are posting, when you move the shifter, I am not immediately seeing a lot of play in the shifter. I see no play in the shifter/shift cable interface, and then I am not seeing notable play between the cable/tranny interface. I am only seeing play in the first video at the shift knob and the 2nd video at the tranny levers (indicating play coming from within the transmission). Until more troubleshooting is done to look for more issues, I'm not positive there's an issue with the shifter OR cables.

Listen to try and help i had the same issue with my twm and mugen shifter with these cables. I dont think its in any way the cables, its just that the cables are so solid and much better its bringing out the remaining weak points. I switched out to stock and it got better. I then sprung for the hybrid shifter and bingo my cars shifting it tight precise rifle gun action clean smooth minimal play. I think the twm along with the hybrid cables and its more pronounced so try switching it out.

it really sucks that we keep buying hondas and complaining about their shifting ability. then spending more money trying to fix what honda engineers cant seem to figure out.just me??

No problem with cables or shifter after much trouble shooting. Comes to find out I had the hr cables kinda crossed over each other under the car and tranny must have a little play.
End topic!
Thanks you Russ for your feedback.
