Ok so I have had my motor in for a like 2 1/2 months and im starting to get a little anoyed that fith and reverse are so far over and when i say far i mean i have to reach and why is my shifter so sloppy could someone give me some advise.

oh also does anybody have a gauge cluster with a tach for my cx hatch i would like to know how high im reving i would like to know when im shifting insteda of guessing when im close to 8200

 

wtf
u have bought a b16a motor but u couldnt afford to buy a ex/si cluster or a cheap aftermarket tach
thats some funny ****

as for the question about shifting
are you short ?? u can get a dual bend short shifer i belive the dual bend ones sit closer to you

 

yeah its kinda weird i would go out and buy a motor and all the other goodies for the motor but no tach so i could see what im running. but hey i never said i was smart i mean its quick but i realy need the tach so i know where im shiftin it would make a little sense

oh for the shifter yes im runnina cheep pilot and would like to go even shorter than that any sudestions? and would that help with how sloppy it is and how far over fith and rev are?

 

That's really wierd. After I did my swap, the B16 linkage felt like a short shifter compared to the D16 shifter to me.

Yeah it definatly felt different than my old shifter but it is still sloppy and fifth and reverse are mad far over i mean to reach fith and reverse it is to the right and then some it actully pushes agenst the plastic casing and moves it to the right when i want to shift to either gears. is there a possibility that the shift linkage was bent when i put it in because of my freind trying to hammer in the bushing . oh by the way that bushing came from my friends integra gsr and is neoprene could that be whats wrong because i thought it didnt make a differense and they would be the same. and how many bushings should there be on a shift linkage just the one that connects onto the tranny right or am i wrong

go grab a short shifter and a energy suspension shifter bushing kit and you should be good.

 

yeah i will have to do that and make shure everything is conected right and check the bushing when im not working on my friends hatch hopefully its an easy fix and nothings wrong with my tranns

 

I have a pilot short shifter should i just get a new one and can i get these bushings on line or am i going to have to go to the local wannabe store and order them

whats that kit cost roughly? :

 

try going with the bushing kit first. Pep Boys, advanced automotive parts and auto zone carry the kit in stock, they usually have an energy suspension rack.. cost is 15-20 dollars, they tightened my loosey goosey shifter right up... GOod luck

 

are you sure you dont have the shifter in backwards? With it in backwards the throw to 5th will be just about under the dash.

 

thanks for the info i will go do that tommarow and let you all know what happens

 

im not quit shure but it should be right if ur sittin in the car the shifetr comes up then back twards you
