i gotta stock '97 civic, i was wondering if i could use a gsr shifter in it instead of the civic one. if so, any special modifications need to be done to make it fit?

 

my buddy has one in his 99 coupe
no special mods that i know of, did you get the bushing with it?
its still slow tho

 

if you try putting a gsr aftermarket short shifter in your civic you might have some fitment problems(don't quote me on that) i have a sohc eg hatchback and currently using a dc2 gsr stock shifter modded to fit and the throws are shorter...saved me $80...if you want i have another one for sale for $40 direct bol-on...let me know

 

haha, but yeah it should bolt rite up

 

According to my friend that has a GSR short shifter in his 97 LX, it will bolt right up, but it might rattle a bit, but it can be rigged not to rattle.

 

I have a Type R shifter in my ex coupe. Actually there are some mods u need to do. Considering the gsr is shorter throw than a stock civic, your shift linkage might rub against your exhaust pipe, like it did mine. I had to cut the hanger that keeps my exhaust pipe up to fit the shifter. The only problem is that the exhaust pipe scrapes every driveway I go over. Other than that, the shifter fits right in.

 

I have a 2001 GS-R shifter for sell if anyone is intrested.

 

is there a benifit for this ???
