is there any way i could fit a 88 crx short shifter on an 87 crx? the one for the 87 crx its 100+ and the one for 88 its around 40. i heard the one for the 88 its slighly different and that you could sand it down just a lil til it fits. is it true?

 

Then 1988 and later shifter arm has a larger pivot ball than the 1987 and earlier Civic/CRX. Unless you have some way of smoothly shaving a couple of millimeters off of a sphere, do not expect it to work.

 

A machinist could do it. But then you're not saving any money.

 

well actually my uncle is one. so all ill have to do its get the 88 shifter and tell him to make the pivot ball smaller. right?
