whether or not you all know my project civic has been sitting a couple years now. I have the linkage, i have the motor -- im missing all the hardware to connect em up. Now the one link i can proly sub a bolt and safety nut, but the bitch pin do i need to order one from Honda or is there some suitable replacement? I also need the hardware the connects the _shifter_ itself to the linkage, is there soemthing i can sub? i dont want to eff it up what with the bushings/bearings in there.

 

Go to Honda and get new hardware. This could be dangerous if you were to expletive the whole thing up.

All OEM stuff shouldn't cost more than $20...but you can substitute a bolt for the bitch pin (I did it once), but it can get "wiggly" to say the least.

Do it safe.

 

fair enough, if the immortal vash wont do it then i wont.

on an unrelated topic i jacked up the block on the back of the intake manifold. I think it must be for a TPS or something, three wires but i cut them on the firewall. I think i may be able to repair it but is there a reliable source for _pieces_ of a harness? i just need this one plug really.

 

$16.50 for the hardware. savages! thats like $5 a bolt.

 

I paid 23$ to Honda to buy ALL the hardware and bushings to install my shift linkage, auto to manual swap!
