will a D series shift linkage pin aka bitch-pin work for a B series shift linkage or do i need to go and find a B series pin ? the reason i ask is that i put one in my linkage but the linkage moves around thru the car ...like if the car is in gear I can move the shifter like it is in Neutral this is making it diff. to go into 1st and 2nd alot of time i will hit 3rd trying to go into 1st and 4th trying to go into 2nd .... THANKS IN ADVANCED

 

i drilled out my shift linkage and just replaced the bitch pin with a bolt n nut.

 

i think i will do that myself !! seems like a stronger option

 

and easier. just unbolt instead of whacking at it with a hammer n punch. LOL

 

Thats a good idea. I think im gonna do that too

 

oh yea, i used 2 nuts on the the end to lock it in place. been holding strong for the last 4 years, untill 3 weeks ago when i swapped out my transmission.

 

DONE AND DONE !! Nice idea

 

Bad idea.

5 dollar spring pin fellers.

 

Plus yo will most likely get a bit of "slop" on the shifter.

 

ive always just used a bitch pin. easy to remove easy to install with the proper tool, or a 1/4 drive extension lol.

for the record, there the same size, but get worn out so its best to replace with a new one after 20 years.

 

how do you get slop? when the bolt is the same size as the hole where the pin was? all i did was open up the hole on the shift linkage about 1/4 inch. like stated before ive been running it like this for the past 4yrs with no problems.

 

Well, whatever works but its still a rig and not O.E.M.

 

very true....that bitch pin is a bitch for a reason..to fit sooper snug in there so theres no play in the linkage. how many times you really gonna drop your trans and have to remove the thing anyways?

 

BOOT lEG

 

B series and D series pins are the same i used a integra pin on my sohc civic do it right dont use a nut and bolt thats boot leg

 

Its just fine if it fits tight. I use a grade 8 bolt and nylon lock nut. Works great.

Whats boot leg is all the Rota wheeled ricers running around with vAutozone parts all over their ****.

 

I guess its what ever u preffer i think its boot leg to use a bolt and nut for ur shift linkage when u use nut and bolt ur gonna beat in and out and if u work on ur car alot motor swaps clutchs stuff like that u have to pull it out alot.This is why i wouldnt use a nut and bolt.The pin is made to fit in and act like a spring when in place nut and bolt is solid and if u beat in and out alot will make ur hole bigger in shift linkage so if u wanna keep getting bigger bolts everytime ur hole gets bigger than fine be boot leg i ll use a pin.

 

holy cow ^ LMAO
