Yes they are. And take it from me just buy them new. I looked for months trying to find a used set and I couldn't.

the SOHC del sol shift linkage is acutally too short for the B-series motor. When i did my gsr swap, i too had a hard time locating a used DOHC del sol shift linkage, so i opted to cut it and extend it. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS. so i just got one from the dealer.

The OTHER difference between a GSR shift linkage and a DOHC del sol is the bends in them. the del sol has a higher center console then the integras, hence the bends in the linkage.

no other linkage will work other then the 94-97 Del Sol VTEC linkage. the dealership should have them. not in stock but they can get it for you in about a day or two

I thought one of the bends was to clear that big *** x member or whatever you want to call it. When I tried to use a b series linkage the linkage hit the x member.
