From previous threads/articles I have read on this, its a positive outcome. Very nice feel and throw. I however don't have any personal experience with that setup.

Awesome awesome awesome! Even compared to the aftermarket ones, the oem integra dual bend fits so well into the civic. I 1st out one into a 96 cv hatch with B20Z, the positioning couldn't be more perfect

It will fit, nice feel to it also. I have a skunk2 dual bend in my 92 SI, plus I had the OEM GSR dual bend in my 93 EG 4DR, loved it, would never go back. It was a direct swap, I didn't need to modify anything.

I have a OEM shifter from a 98 GSR installed in my EG hatch. The shift is shorter and definitely feels tighter and more positive. I used new OEM bushings for the install.

I'm also using GSR shift linkage, so I don't know if there are any differences when installing a GSR shifter with stock Civic linkage.

do i need the GSR shift linkage and the OEM GSR shifter or can i just use the OEM GSR shifter on my D16 trans linkage?

I love how ppl give false info. Or ppl that give info is not understanding the post right. I have installed an OEM gsr shifter in a 6th gen si civic. 100% bolt on w/civic linkage? No.

They are the same, for them to work with civic d-series you have to trim the integra Shifter a little.

I am also pretty sure you need to shave it for it to fit onto a civic linkage. Also on 90-93 integra b series linkages you do

Yeah its about 2mm off one side and 8mm on the other, you can use 1" masking tape lined up with the shaft to mark how much to trim.

It won't in a B16. You need to modify the shifter in order to get it to fit in the shifter linkage.. Which is nothing a dremel with a cutting wheel can't do.

what sucks is the short throw for people like me who HATE Short throw shifters , I like being able to tell what gear I am in , with this I am scared of missing gears , but I do like that its real easy to shift and minimal effort is required its more all about personal prefference really , but yes I can vouche it will fit.
