JDM-EJ1

I purchased a D series shift linkage from a guy here on HT by the name of TurboEG6, I got the linkage and I was stoked because I'm planning to do an at/mt swap on my EJ1, I almost have all the parts.

The linkage came in 3 parts, the shifter itself, the top piece that connects to the chassi, and then the bottom peice that connects to bottom peice of the shifter and the tranny itself. When I tried to assemble it for kicks, the bottom peice WOULDN'T fit on the bottom of the shifter..



And then I compared it to the tranny bracket on my transmisson itself (the end of the linkage that connects too the tranny and allows it to shift gears and it doesn't look like it would bolt up directly..



My tranny is a JDM s20. I don't really know manual tranny parts too well, so I don't know what kind of linkage this is. The guy told me it was a D series linkage? Someone help!

on the first pic it looks like its the wrong shifter mine is alot skinnier could just be me though. im pretty sure is the wrong shifter get a short shifter and see if it works. and in the second pic you need to remove the bitch pin to get that peice off the tranny looks like it was just cut to save time and the new one you got replaces that and reinstall the bitch pin. good luck

Oh yeah, the I got the tranny from a local importer.. The axels are still in the tranny, they were just welded off. Like this...



That's all the stuff I've got so far.

1st off your shifter is a dc or ek shifter NOT a civic one.. hence why it doesnt fit the shift linkage.. look how the shifter has a double bend in it... that means its not a civic..

Really? That's good to know. Like I said before, I'm not familiar with manual parts, I'm still learning. Thanks for letting me know!

problem solved i thought it looked different. take everything off that is cut and replace get a short shifter or a civic one and your good to go how much did you pay for all that?

Hmm.. Let's see..

Tranny - JDM s20 w/ 1 year warranty $250
Manual Pedal Assembly - $30
Clutch Resovir - $15
Hydraulic lines - $10 (still need to replace a part one one, look at the pic below)
New OEM clutch/flywheel (lifetime warranty) - $170
Shift Linkage - $30
Slave Cylindar - $15
Clutch Master - $10

I bought a starter, but when I got the package it wasn't in there, so I'm still waiting to get that issue resolved..

With these peice of the hydraulic line, the host portion was cut off, is there anyway I can replace the peice from the metal line over? Or do I have to replace the ENTIRE peice?

you can buy just that rubber hose.

It looks like it would be hard to jam in that metal clamp (kinda looks like the one that's around the power steering hose).

on top of the black mount peice there is that silver looking thing its a clip that just slides out use some pliers on the lip thats bent up but first unbolt the flare nut on the hard line.

on the second picture you have to take off the bitch pin so that other piece can come off and the linkage you got goes on there.

I went on to that website. I don't mind buying all the parts individually, it's not that bad. I highly doubt you can get EVERYTHING for 350, it's probably crap if it's that cheap.

Honestly i think u should have gotten a better trans, if u plan on driving hard... the d series trans r weak so treat it good, dont power shift or burnout n **** like that... the main shaft bearing went in mine, thats y im gettin the swap

I've never driven any of my cars hard just for that reason. I don't want to mess 'em up!

The Shifter & the Shift Linkage are fine because I put a short-shifter on there which made the "Tabs" PUSH inward. The short shifter's BASE was smaller in WIDTH so when I bolted it down the tabs went INWARD. All you would need to do is pull the tabs outward and that shifter will fit PERFECTLY! It's the right part you didn't get screwed!

It's probably just an integra shifter, the bottom is a little wider on the integra's shifter... no prob though, just bend the fork things... or get a short shifter...
