Product Overview
A shifter that feels loose, binds, will not select a gear, or has a cable end separated from its bushing may need cable service after the transmission linkage, clutch release, mounts, and shift mechanism are checked. This set reconnects the console shifter to the manual transmission.
RSX year and transmission matter: 54310-S6M-043 is cataloged for both Base and Type-S in 2002-2004, but Base 5-speed applications in 2005-2006. Compare both cable lengths, bracket points, ends, and the number on the removed assembly.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Match year, Base/Type-S trim, 5-speed/6-speed transmission, 54310-S6M-043, cable lengths, firewall grommet, brackets, and both end fittings. Model year, production date, serial number, trim, engine, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is 2005-2006 Type-S not listed? A: The 54310-S6M-043 catalog fitment changes after 2004; verify the exact cable number on a later Type-S before ordering.
Q: Can a worn engine mount affect shifting? A: Yes. Excessive powertrain movement can change cable geometry and should be repaired along with any damaged cable.
Q: What should I compare before ordering? A: Match year, Base/Type-S trim, 5-speed/6-speed transmission, 54310-S6M-043, cable lengths, firewall grommet, brackets, and both end fittings.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers identify fitment only.
Package note: The shifter cable pair is included; console bushings and transmission brackets are included only when pictured.
