I am doing a b20b with a 90-93 teg ls tranny swap in my 88 crx and I have 90-93 integra shift linkages. I thought that those linkages would fit right in but they look like they are about 5 inches too long when I connect them to the tranny the shifter is about 5 inches past the hole where it comes through the floor. I heard that for some swaps you have to cut and weld the linkages to fit, so this is probably what i'm going to do, what I need to know is where do I cut the 5 inches off of the linkage and stablizer bar at? I don't want to cut it wrong and have my shifting screwd up. please help asap.

P.S.- I'm using HAsport mounts if that matters.

 

Never done this so I'm going off what I've read off the net. Hook up your stabalizer bar to the tranny and figure out how much you need to shorten it to get it to bolt to the shifter area. Then you cut out that length from a straight section of the bar. Before you do that though, scribe a straight line down the length of the bar so that you can be sure you weld it back together straight. When thats done, cut the same amount out of the shifter arm that you took out of the stabalizer. I've also heard you can get some .75" OD piping and slide that inside the linkage and drill holes for bolts through it if you don't have access to a welder.

 

cool, thanks for the help

This is true. And besides the fact that you don't need a welder, one of the GREAT things about this approach is that you don't need to sweat the exact amount of material to cut out. If you cut too short, just use more bar stock to take up the missing material. Also, you don't have to worry about trying to get your cuts square. Overall, I have found this way to be MUCH easier and more forgiving of error than the traditional method. And for this reason, I highly recommend it.

 

Here is how I did it;
