I would like to buy a shift linkage from a private seller. But my question is how do I know if whatever hes selling is from a GSR and not from a LS. I am doing a swap in my EG and would like to know. THank you.

 

Arent all B-series shift linkage's the same?? Not too sure but just seems more practical to make them all the same.

 

thats what i thought but theyre not the same. correct me if im wrong.

 

i'm pretty sure everything is identical except for the shift ****.

with the exception of the gold R linkages

 

so all B series shift linkage are the same?

 

pretty sure they r all the same except for the piece the shifter screws onto. if its a gsr it will be bent looking. if its a ls it will be straight.....i own a gsr and my shifter is bent forwards a little bit, the way gsr's are supposed to be.

 

ls is a dual bend too

civics are the single bend back

 

oh ok i didnt know that. thanks for letting me know

 

I have all 3. the gold r is the same as the ls except bent down at the end where it bolts to the shifter.

the gsr is identical to the gold r but has a wider mouth where it bolts to the shifter

 

but i meant the fitment issue wouldnt be a problem right on an eg with a B18c1? I just wasnt sure if i can use all B series shift linkage on my b18c1 swap on my EG

 

yes all b series shift linkages are the same and yes you will need to use the b series linkage for your swap

 

I have a B16 about to take the place of a LS but I don't thave the hardware to attach it to the transmission. Anybody know if its the same (can i use the LS hardware?)

The B16 shifter (in the cab) is straight but my LS has a bend in it

 

b series linkage is the same, with the EXCEPTION of 94-97 del sol VTEC linkage.
