Nothing different from any other Integra, other than color (JDM). You won't be able to tell anyways.

My JDM ITR linkage is thicker than my dinky LS linkage, here is my LS linkage compared to the JDM ITR (gold) linkage:





It's hard to tell from pics due to the snow reflecting off the sun in the background, but the gold one is almost twice as thick. If you need more pics, I can provide some tomorrow. Let me know.

The shifter is ONLY polished on the models with the titanium shift ****. This is because this **** leaves some of the shift lever exposed. The early US Type R's have a leather shift **** and a black shift lever...

The amount of WRONG info on this site is staggering!
The ITR shifter does not have a weight while the GSR does.
there is a difference is the way the shifter feels, one reason why the ITRs have a heavy shifter ****. To make shifting more percise and easy. The GSR's shifter **** is lighter there for requiring a weight on the linkage.
Please stop posting WRONG info. Where are all the OG guys with the knowledge and heavy handed actions that prevented all the misleading info?

Also IIRC the JDM linkages were a zinc/gold color while the USDMs were plain black.
I do belive the JDM linkages were a tad beefier then the USDM, But I think the zinc/gold colored ones only came on the RX models.

I have a JDM ITR shift linkage that is gold with the chrome shifter and it is indeed WAY more beefy then Ls/Gs-r or any other B series shift linkage I have ever seen.

so what is the benefit (if any) with a larger diameter shift linkage? I have a gsr shiftlinkage with jdm shift ****, shift feel is wonderful.

WOWW!! Sorry for putting in my 2 cents from experience. I own a late model JDM spec HONDA Itr. I do have the "beefier" gold/zinc plated linkage with the polished not "chrome" shifter. It also has the weighted ****....

I find it hard to believe that a machined titanium shift **** would be considered "weighted". Seems more decorative than anything...

BTW: I don't see the extra "weight" mentioned on the GSR shift linkage in the picture above. As for the shifters, both the polished and the black ones are identical except for the collor...

Fresh '86, can you measure the OD of the 2 linkages?
