It should work, we tried it on my friends b16 and it didnt work. reason why is i guess the 00 gsr has a differerent shifter and its a bit to wide to fit without modifiaction. Wont fit into shiftlinage it self,

But he has a s2 shifter for integra so yes it you should be ok.

Im not sure what year the shifter is from. But like you said, the GSR shifter looks too wide at first glance. I just wanted to know if someone knew for sure before i start unbolting everything.

But you're not sure if it will work?

i bought one of the stock gsr shifters that had the longer post on one side where it bolts up to the linkage... i just took my handy dandy dremel, trimmed it down to size and it works perfectly.

1st, let me say, great upgrade!!!! btw, ALL Integra shifters are the same 94-01- dual bend!

Yes, it works, you have 2 options, both easy!

1) trim down one side of the integra



2) buy any used 94-01 integra shift linkage, it will bolt right in. no mods. They can be had cheap now at picknpull yards

Thanks for all the advice. What would be the best method to trim down the side?

One last question: What about the "metal tubing" inside the shifter? Do i just grind that down as well?

I didn't cut anything. I just widened the fork thing by putting pliers in between and opening it.

I cut at least 6mm off so im hoping i can just squeeze it between the shift linkage just enough.

This probably would have been the better idea but i already cut the shifter. Plus, junk yards arent that accessible in my area (nearest one is about 45 min away and they usually dont have much stuff).

I got off my lazy *** this morning and decided to finish this damn shifter issue for once. So i took off my stock shifter, measured it with the GSR shifter, grinded the sides down to match, and VOILA! Everything is put back together and works amazingly. The throw is considerably reduced compared to the stock shifter so overall, after $20 and "a pain in the ***" later, i am overjoyed with the results. Thanks everyone for all your help, especially you Deetz. Couldnt have done it w/o the help of fellow H-T members lol.
