First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I feel it should be in here because the motor/trans/shifter linkage is Type R.

I have just finished swapping in the first documented B18C-R in a 3g Prelude body. I have had a few problems with the swap, one including axle length the other being the shifter.

The linkages were JDM R linkages lengthened to fit the shifter console of the prelude body. I have done a couple of test drives here recently and the shifter keeps pulling through the shifter base bushing so hard it has dented the metal surround in front of the shifter base on the car. I just finished today moving it forward 2 more inches to give it plenty of room and it still pulled through the bushing doing a simple burnout.

The mounts we made are out of .25" wall steel using 2" flange bushings from energy suspension. We have a transmission mount/rear transmission mount/timing belt side motor mount/traction bar with roll stop. All of this is incredibly solid and is really confusing me on how the shifter is able to get this much movement. The shifter has the energy suspension bushing kit and a buddy club short throw.

Is this problem internally on the gear selector shaft? Any opinions/facts are greatly appreciated.
