B&M makes a good one if you have it, but I don't think the d series B&M will work for a b series.

NSfit

yeah it will work but id segguest a skunk 2 shifter, with their ****. it had a really good weight for smooth shifting

Integra shift linkage has a wider opening where the bottom of the shifter bolts to the linkage, so unless you get a short shifter that comes with a bearing spacer (I know Dc Sports ones I've purchased came with one) it will NOT work with Integra shift linkage.

The other way to get around it is sell the Integra linkages and buy 99-00 Civic Si linkages - bolts up to the tranny and is the exact same length, bends, etc. as Integra linkage, but with the exact same size opening for the bottom of the shifter as your stock D series linkage.

This is the gosphel truth on this matter.

I have a 93 civic hatch with a b16a, ITR shift likage, and a B&M shifter made for a 95 integra. All B&M shifters work for 92 and up civics and integras.

So the B&M must be packaged with a spacer to accomodate the Integra linkage since the Integra linkage is definately wider than Civic linkage.

It does have a spacer, right?

TurboTagTeam

Yes it does.

Oke i still have a question I want to get a b and m short shifter what is the difference between the normal single bend and the dual bend and does it matter which one I get?

bends do not really matter. the teg linkage is wider, i've got a buddy club shifter, nice and heavy. if for some reason you dont have a spacer you can always go the ghetto route and just tighten the fork around the shifter, youll bend the linkage but it wont break. you should just hold off on that though if youre really itchin for that swap though

Djole_V

I know but what i meant is what is the difference between the single and dual bend and do I need to buy adapter for the car?

If the dual-bend one is for an Integra you need to make sure the bottom of it isn't as wide as the Integra linkage, or else it won't fit inside the more narrow Civic linkage. If it's narrow to begin with and needs a spacer to fit into the Integra linkage then buy it - IMO the dual bend ones feel better in terms of where the **** is in relation to the center console.

Yes, b and d series shifters are the same.

Did you even read the whole topic yet? You might have learned that Integra shifters have a wider bottom than the Civic shifters, and that the linkages are also different to accomodate the difference.

Hell all B series shifters are not even the same - 99-00 Civic Si uses the smaller bottom like the D series, while the Integras still have the wider bottom.

sicones

If you buy a skunk 2 shifter, it comes with a spacer so you can use it on a B or D series linkage

boostedbigguy

if you plan on swaping ir motor with a b18 or somthing like that the shifter is fine, but you will need to get different linkage
