Are all b-series shift linkage the same?

The shift linkage that came with my swap does not want to match up.

Its a jspec b18c and the shift linkage says ek on it.

 

Depends on the car. if you are swapping a B series into an EG/EK, then yes B series shift linkage will work.

If it's an EF then you need to have it trimmed and re-welded to fit.

 

Still no luck man. So its too short...is that what you were saying in the other post?

No all B Series linkages are not the same. The Del Sol VTEC has it's own linkage and the 90-93 Integra will only fit those years (or can be modded for EF B series swaps). Then you have the 94-01 Integra and 99-00 Civic Si which are interchangeable and will fit all 92-95 EG Civic's and 96-00 EK Civic's.

When you say it doesn't match up, is it too short? too long? or will it not even mount up properly? What car is this B18C swap going into?

 

eh2 - Well it seems its alittle too short.

 

Lookie here:

After messing with it for a long while i took it apart to see if it would be easier. I still didnt have any luck. But i snapd a pic of one part.

Does this look more bent then it should be?

A little bent??? Uhhhh that might be the reason it doesn't fit... If the linkage was meant to be connected to the steering rack it would probably fit fine

 

Yea i thought so. damn it.

Well its now been some time since i bought the motor "complete change over" from this shop.

Do you think they should swap it out for a good one?

 

Damn bro. That explains it.

 

Yep - I will find out what they say about it tomarrow.

Hopefully they will trade it out with a good one.

Its not like i fucked that up while driving.

 

wow, dat linkage doesnt look a little bent. it looks like someone used it as a weapon or sumtin. its not suppose to have dat curve

Well who ever got hit by this "weapon". I am sure they got messed up. Too bad i missed it.


- Do you think trying to bend in into the right shape would work?
