Hi,

I want to get a dual bend short shifter for my 97cx hatch... it has the stock D series motor in it... so I called my local shop and they told me that only a single bend is for the D series and dual is for B series motors... Is this true, or did I get the guy working his first shift???

Thanks A lot

 

I have a dual bend for my d-series, skunk2. Use the search button more often plz.

 

Yeah you can get a dual bend, the bends have nothing to do with your engine.

 

it is true, if you look a the D it only had one bend that forms the arch on the D, the B you see has two arches.

thus the D can only have a single bend, while the B can have dual.

 

can the b have a single bend???

They have dual bends and no bends available for all hondas.

 

I have a dual bend B&M on my d-series HX, no issues.

 

I also have a skunk2 dual bend on my 92 dx hatch. They make them in both dual and single bends.

b&m or skunk 2 nothing else.

 

I honestly want the Buddy Club Racing Spec short shifter, it's black too.

z6hatchboy....who is wanting to ban nofx and why? i saw your sig, just wondering.

 

Someone tell me the difference between 45074 and 45075 please, one has a pivot housing?

yeah i was on weaksauce and they only had single bend skunk2 for the d... and i thought that i could get a dual bend as well...

 

They probably only stock the single bend, doesn't mean the dual bends don't exist. Every company's inventory is different.

 

I've been to a bunch of shops and not a single one has ever had a skunk2 dual bend for a D series motor.... either you are wrong, or these shops don't want to sell it to me... I hope you are right however... can someone post a website where I can order a skunk2 dual bend for a d16y7... SOHC motor... I would greatly appreciate the owning

 

Secondly, Rok Stok... I have a mint condition buddy club SS I ordered but it's for a b16... many websites advertise it fits 92-00 civics... but only if they have B series motors in them... that's why I think a lot of people think you can get a dual bend for a D series

 

bump... someone please tell me...^^^

 

when i had my 95 ej1 i went to the junk yard and got me an oem integra dual bend shifter, it fit but i had to use washers mounting it to the linkage and the best part i got it for $5, cant go wrong with that

 

So I guess it's settled... there are no 'dual bend' short shifters for D series motors!

 

88-91 Civic/CRX, 90-93 Integra, Use the Skunk2 Single Bend
92+Civic/94+ Integra, Use the Skunk2 Dual Bend

there.

 

I disagree with you my friend... Sure those specs are right... but that's not what's important... the motor specs are important... and 92+ civics with "B-series" motors can have dual bend... but if they don't they have to use single bends... I have a 97 ek with a D series and I wanted a dual bend for it... but im outta luck it seems

 

What about BLOX?

 

I'm using a B&M dual bend on my D16Y8, I don't understand why people would think it wouldn't work. The application list for my shifter lists '92-'00 civics & '94-'01 Integras, they should all be interchangeable.

 

ya but they are not... 94-01 integra's have B series shift linkages and I'm pretty sure that D series linkages are different... idk if you can modify it to fit tho... because I have a buddy club (dual bend) and it won't fit my D series

 

I personally would not get a short shifter

you are actually increasing the time between shift since you have to move your hand further down, I would perfer a taller shifter thats almost next to my steering wheel or close to it.

Plus most short shifter are light, now you have to push/pull harder to get it into gear.
