So, swapping a B into my EK. The sticky'd guide says that the EM1 linkage works better then the integra.

"Shift Linkage: For 96-00 EK the chassis, I highly recommend to use a 99-00 Si or JDM EK4/9 shift linkage. I recently found out 94-01 integra shift linkage will not center the shift lever in the center of the shift boot area. Shifting to 2nd/4th gears the shift lever sits too far back hitting the inner edge of the shift boot console border."

Question is..

How can I tell the difference between the two? Is there a measurement of length that can be taken and can anyone provide the two measurements?

 

i have an integra shift linkage on mine. i never noticed that happening.

 

Im wondering the same thing, i think a short shifter would solve this problem. also apparently its better to use the rear "t" bracket from an em1 vs an integra bracet.

 

T bracket on the engine/transmission? It's not "better", it's the only one that works.

 

So an integra bracket will not work at all? will be doing an ls/vtec swap (itr head/b18a1 block. s80 tranny) into an ej6? sorry to thread jack
