from Ebay
shipping hasport and innovative costs 100ye
shipping AVID and V2 costs 50ye

may be it would be better to buy shift linkage from DC2 and to short it?
the price for shift linkage from DC2 is 100 ye with shifter..

and also one detail: I bought no-name motor mounts. and i want to know how hasport/AVID/V2/innovative shift linkage fit my no-name motor mounts?

 

i think you would need a da shift linkage

they should fit

you can always call hasport and ask they love to help

 

DA linkage is not a direct drop in.

 

Neither is the DC2 linkage. You have to shorten both. If your going to shorten a oem shifter i would use a GSR shifter from the dc2. The DA shift linkage is the easiest to shorten though. I have a shortened DA linkage in my hatchback and you cant tell it was even cut unless you put it next to one that isnt cut.

I have never heard anything bad about innovative or hasport linkage from anyone that used it. They all said it was a super easy direct fit. I have never personally used it i just used what i already had in my garage to do my swap. I have never heard anything about the Avid or V2 linkages though. I have heard that Avids mounts are not as good quality as Hasport or Innovatives. Might be the same with there linkage kits.

 

All the aftermarket ones feel like ****. Get the DC linkage and cut it.

 

I think, that DC linkage is better too.
and first of all i afraid, that hasport\innovativ\e.t.c. linkage will not sit with no-name motor mounts, so, as a disposition of motor with such mounts is rather lower than disposition with brand-mounts.. and at the discription of AVID or V2 linkages is written, that they match hasport mounts...

 

our linkage works with other mount kits

we help however we can

correct

how so?

 

Hasport if you are representative of hasport, tell me, please, the price of hasport linkage and exact price of international shipping (Russian Federation)
but, for example, innovative motor mounts move motor and gearbox closer to the motor panel (closer to the window) so innovative linkages are shorter, than other.

hasport motor mounts are rather like OEM (i mean position of motor)

and my no-name motor mount move motor rather lower..

And that's why i think that whole linkages are different...

 

I know people use our EFBLINK linkage with other mount kits without any problem.


The EFBLINK linkage retails for $149
USPS international shipping to you $60

 

The aftermarket linkages don't feels crisp at all when putting in the gears. They feel sloppy compared to a cut and welded DC linkage.

 

^^^^ I have never ran into that with the hasport or innovative linkages in friends cars. The cut oem linkages can feel sloppy if you don't cut them right though.

 

Where do you cut the linkage for the best result?

And are you guys using new bushings? I have replaced old ones with new and it tightens everything up significantly. Honda sells the white cuff that goes around the ball on the shifter pretty cheap.

 

WOW. People buy shift linkages nowadays? Amazing..
