Shift linkage too long?
Ok so I bought some race tech B series shift linkage and it is like 3-4" too long?? The stock lonkage is several inches to short and a different style end but this swap linkage is too long? any suggestions? some may say my mounts arent the same brand as my linkage but there wouldn't be that much different! Thanks.

Factory B series don't work...
You NEED to cut and weld your existing shiftlinkages to fit (the B series one need to lose 3-4 inches).
You can also buy premade ones from Hasport or Avid. I have an Avid racing one, garbage. Had to dremel it for it to even go onto the B series tranny, and it was a B series EF shiftlinkage that they make.

These were supposed to be crx b series swap linkages not stock b series.
sounds like honda-tech user "handa" got one over on me.
