If your shift rod is worn at the riveted joint near the trans, is there anything that can be done about that? I was going to buy a new one but Honda discontinued it. Does anyone else make a new shift rod for a 92 eg hatch d-series trans?

 

tons of people make short shifters

 

Shifter's got new bushings in it. That's not the problem. Problem is the other joint in the shift rod,up near the trans, which is held together by a rivet.

 

you're talking about the U-joint in the shift linkage between the stick and the trans case?

if you can't get it from Honda anymore, i think your best option would be to find one in a junk yard or through the classifieds (craigslist, hondamarketplace, ebay... and so on)
