Hey guys I am in the midst of doing a engine swap. I just pulled out a b16a from my civic wagon. I am looking to swap in a B20Z.

My question is can I keep my shift linkage and use it on a b20Z? Also I just purchased this wagon, and my short shifter would keep falling through. I would have to pull it up and it would stay for a bit than fall back down. I am guessing it needs new bushings or a washer or something I am unsure. Here are pictures of it.

 

the engine wont change what shift linkage you need.

 

Thanks. I was pretty sure it would not change what shift linkage I need.

What should I do about my short shift not staying up. Would it be a washer causing it to do that, or the bushing.

Another question is there any benefits to switching to aftermarkets shift linkages like hasport? Over the stock shift linkage.

 

get a new bushing that sits in the shiftlinkage and holds the shifter. and not really besides having new joints on it that aren't worn down and old.
