shift linkage
i need a new shift linkage for my crx. It has a LS motor with HCP mounts. Will ANY shift linkage thats made for a b-series swap into a CRX work? Or do I need an HCP shift linkage?

Re: shift linkage (See Are X)
There are certian things you dont want to dick around with when It comes to cars. A shiftlinkage is one of them, you can use one from a 90-93 teg and it needs to be shorted. Some peeps I know have never gotten it to be the right length while others seem to do just fine. I enjoyed bolting up my HASPORT one, easy cake.
Just my .02 cents.

Re: shift linkage (Bucket)
bucket you're new..
you make it sound like it's a bolt on afair.. like an intake or something..
hasport and hcp make adjustable ones.. wait i know hcp does i dont know about hasport but they will both work...
shops taht usually shorten it for you usually never get it perfect..
i'm using the hcp adjustablt one.. took me forever to get it right.. i used a 95 shifter and trim the sides to make it fit.. this made myine feel better but that's me you can just use your stock one..

Re: shift linkage (XtraFastCRX)
I've done 8 "B" swaps. on 3 of them the people bought the linkage. The other 5 I just made the linkage. The first one took two tries to get it right but after that it's pretty easy. If you have access to a welded and have some fabricating skills go for it. if not get the adjustable Hasport

Re: shift linkage (SIRX)
Hasport is not adjustable, It is already shortened to fit the 88-91 CRX/Civic platform. They are from new Teg linkage. They fit and work very well, but are pricy compared to junkyard. I used Hasport and would recommend.

Re: shift linkage (XtraFastCRX)
I may be new, but I know whats up. How many swaps have you done XtraFastCRX, and how fast is your CRX? Check out http://www.azracemachine.com, cool products, and I've used their shift linkage and havent found one that feels better, or feels like it was made for the car like theirs. Call and talk to them, they know what their talking about. And it is a bolt on affair, as long as you get the right one.

Re: shift linkage (Bucket)
i got a teg linkage and the welder guy i had did it perfect, granted i gave him all the spec and everything, but it came up perfect, well not exactly perfect, it sits alittle bit off and not center in the circle on the chassis for the shifter, about an 1/8 fo an inch off

Re: shift linkage (civickiller)
I have the place racing mounts for 95 ls, sent my old linkage out, going to pick up the new length ones, well see how it works soon.

Re: (USDM 4G VTEC)
I bought the hasport mounts and linkage, and my shifter sits very close to me (not centered)
emailed hasport about this issue, but they never got back to me
I think that they shorten the shift rod 1 inch shorter than they suppose to?

Re: (acuracy90)
I've seen/dealt with modifying a Xsi teg linkage to fit in a STD hatch b16 swap. It isnt that hard if you have a nice welder and the right metal to re-connect the linkage. Ours worked fine, ask SiRWanabe.......but IMO I would just buy an aftermarket linkage, it's a hell of a lot easier than fabricating/fitting a modified Xsi teg linkage. But it can be done for all you " belt tighteners".
