Default DEL SOL H22 SWAP, SHIFTER PROBLEMS!

So my friend got the h22 into the del sol, and everything is in..

then finds out the shifter won't shift...

he says the only think he can think of... is that the hole from the firewall into the engine compartment isn't giving enough clearance.

the del sol and eg are a little different when it comes to getting the shifter linkage... any ideas from people who have done the swap or familiar with it?


THANKS (:

maybe the cables are seized on the inside? Take em off the transmission then see if they move.

okay here is the updated info... he said the cables are too long... like he would have to push the shifter back.. but then that would be where the e brake is..

checked the cables.. even spent 100$ on a whole new shifter linkage.. and thats not the problem.

if any of you guys ever did a h22 swap on a del sol.. where did you guys run the shifter linkage cable?

yeah the cables are the ones that came with the shifter.. got a prelude one and a 94 accord one... both the same i believe..

how do you suggest we run the cables? we are currently runing the cables through a hole below the stereo under where the air boxes are.
