No. Get one from a 96 ford taurus.



Yes, you need the del Sol linkage.

If length is the only problem then you can measure and cut a section out of the linkage and weld it so it will be shorter....that is if you're having trouble finding the del sol shift linkage.
Just saying......

The del Sol ones are actually longer. Read first, answer questions later.

I wasn't sure if it was the length or what...that's why I said IF.

Your speculation on a technical issue is of no concern or of any consequence.

Remove head from sphincter, then post.

Hey,I'm just trying to help the man out by providing a alternative option he may not have thought of.
If the shift linkage is too short then all he has to do is cut it and add a pipe of the same diameter as the shift linkage and of course measure it so that it will add the right amount of length.
Of course it will be much much easier to just get the right part but maybe he can't get one and that's why he wants to use one from an ef.
At least I'm trying to help instead of being sarcastic.
"No. Get one from a 96 ford taurus.Yes, you need the del Sol linkage." you say that as if there was an obvious answer to his question even though many Honda parts are interchangeable so it is a completely legitimate question.
You are just like 3/4 of the people on this site that think everything is a joke and having a good laugh is your main concern,not trying to help people like it should be.

There was an obvious answer, and it's been gone over:

You have to use del Sol linkages for del Sol's. Period. I thought we covered this, but apparently people want to ghetto-rig their cars and use the incorrect parts.

Just use the right part and nobody gets hurt.

I'd also like to point out that I'm not like 3/4 of the people here, just trying to get a laugh.

I am trying to help. I'm the ONLY person in here who provided the correct information.
