I have a 1997 honda civic hatchback. (manual) and am doing a b18c1 engine swap. i am gonna order the complete swap from hmotorsonline.com. do i need this: http://hasport.com/catalog/pro...id=53? or wil the stock linkage work ok. or the linkage from the donor car?

 

stock gsr shift linkage should work.

 

nah dude that **** is a rip off i found that out myself...its 150.00 plus shipping...any b-series linkage will work fine 94 up gsr or 99-00 civic si..i got mine from honda "new" oem for 89.00 lol i suggest you do the same its cheap as hell. ..i saved the part numbers just incase (1) 54301-s04-g10 (2) 54201-s04-g10 you need the both of them or if you forget just ask for shift linkage for a 99-00 civic si

 

i have a 92 hatch with a B18C and i used the GS-R shift linkage
but i'm not sure it that will work with a EK civic

 

iput a b18 in my crx and needed Has port linkage I would imagine your hatch woluld be the be the same. I don't think your hatch was available with a b series engine. 3rx

Yes I agree 100%
you can buy my Integra shift linkage $75 shipped. It will work with your set-up.

 

thank you...finally a reply from someone that has done a few swaps in his day and knows what theyre talking about.

 

Note of caution - I had a problem running an Integra linkage in a 2000 civic with a B16A2 swap, and had to buy new Civic Si linkage. The problem was that the integra linkage was not bent in the same place the Si linkage was, and the linkage was constantly hitting against the secondary o2 sensor.

Not sure if this is a common issue, or maybe the used Integra linkage I bought was bent from an accident or something, but just a heads up. Stock linkage is only like $70 + tax + shipping from slhondaparts.com, so charging $150 (twice as much as the stealership!!!) is a ripoff either way you look at it.
