It depends on what mount kit you are using!

Here is a link showing how I did it;

Yeap.

 

I have a 91 si with b-series in it but i need to cut the shift linkage just like the jdm si-r,so it bolt up clean.

 

i had the same problem , quickest thing to do is cut both bars then roughly hook them up then now ur will have a gap get someone to hold the shifter in the car stright then messure the gap. once u get that messurement get a peice of metal o round pipe works best to slid over the shift bars once u get the position spot weld it so u dun lose the proper length take out the shift bars and give it a good weld.
Thats wat i did and never had a problem with it still going on strong.. hope that helps u out if u dun wanna spend the buck to get the ones made for ur car ....

 

when i got my swap we had to cut 2 and 7/8ths off.

if you can weld why not? its not hard

 

1. Cut B series linkages in half
2. Mount both end to the tranny, the others to the car.
3. Measure, cut again and weld together.

Or

Spend 100$ and get a premade shiftlinkage that isn't haggard as ****, like I did.

lol. If you know what you're doing, a cut and welded DA linkage is not 'haggard'. For a long time, most of those "premade" shiftlinkages were just cut and welded by someone else, and marked up $80.

 

As long as its done right there's nothing wrong with cutting and making your own. Did mine 6 yrs ago, still holding strong.

iirc, I cut just over 2".

 

Thanks alot guy i'm going to cut it later.THANKS

 

I cut 2 3/8ths, works mint.
