I got my shift linkage for the swap that going into the del sol! Cant wait till the weekend! I think i could have gotten it cheaper then this though. And of course, i went to church.

Got the linkage for $208.98.



I had to battle with the parts department though. Everyone was telling the del sol si and del sol vtec shift linkage was EXACTLY the same. It took a lot of convincing, but i got the right stuff!

 

Thats an expensive *** Linkage, I wouldnt pay more then 150 for a linkage

 

Cool!

i called hasport and they told me to call honda because they didnt make a stock replacement for the del sol vtec. so it was either the good stuff, or hacked together linkage. i like to do things the right way, 1 time

paying the stealer for that part isnt necesarily the "right way"

i've welded linkages with a sleve over the joint before and never had a problem. and it didnt cost me more than $4 and felt the same as my VTEC sol did when shifting.

 

u could have gotten some brand new avid ones for only 125 shipped on ebay

 

im not very good at welding so mine would be ghetto as ****.

 

are you joking?! i looked all over for cheaper alternatives and found NONE! this was the only thing i could get. POOP!

 

if the part you need is #14, which I assume it to be since I searched for the part number, its only 75 dollars on http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. Return the one you got and buy this one. You could have it shipped overnight and still save money.

good job bro on not cheaping out and buying the correct linkage for your car. cause it sucks that if we do a b-series swap into our del sol's we can only use del sol VTEC linkage. not like the EG's which can use the integra ones.

JHP has them for 169.00 + tax.

i would have needed 13 & 14. I looked online at the same site, and i knew it was cheaper, but then you have to take into account shipping/tax, and i would have needed fast delivery.

it might still have been cheaper but w/e. I sold the motor that was in my car to get this. so in essence i traded my motor for new shift linkage. doesnt bother me.

 

I just noticed you're in CT, the warehouse is out in rhode island. You could have called them to pick it up (possibly?). I always get my parts from them no later than 2 days after I ordering them.

 

yeah, thats what they did. i didnt have to pay shipping because they're gonna just get it from there, and call me when they have it.

 

i ordered one for our honda dealership here a few days ago. I know a guy that works there and im only being charged $57.99

I hassled him for 30 minutes and he swears its the dual overhead vtec linkage.


he said thats their price.

 

Coool Good Luck on the swap

yeah same here. i had to prove to the entire parts department that the two linkages are different. everyone there thought i was a total moron until i showed them the part numbers were different

These are the del sol VTEC part numbers for the linkage:

54301-SR2-G01 which is the "EXTENSION, CHANGE"
54301-SR2-G03 which is the "ROD, GEARSHIFT"
