Default Which Shift Linkage Would Work On EK SEDAN 1998

Doing a jdm b16a into my 1998 ek sedan. AUTO TO MANUAL
I been researching which shift linkage would fit into my 98 ek sedan but i get all the same answers or answers that dont come up to a solution

94-01 Integra people say it works but others say it hits the inner boot wall from 2 & 4 so it doesnt work?

92- integra not sure havent come up with any anwers

99-00 SI 100% works

Can someone please verify "that has done it before" which would work or which woundnt!

YES IM A NOOB FIRST SWAP!

92-01 integra works just fine, as does the EM1 linkage

the 90-93 integra DA linkage will not fit

When you say 90-93 DA, I should just find a 94-01 shift linkage? And it wont hit the inner wall from 2&4 as people say? Thanks!

The 94-01 Integra is a DC2, it will work just fine. The only people that ever have fitment issues, are usually ones with custom exhausts if not positioned properly....and of coarse that isn't so hard to get readjusted

you can use all of the b series shifters from 94-01 integra
the only diffrence is JDM type R are made from chrom-moly thicker tube making them lighter than stock and dont have throw weights to keep them lighter
also the R gear stick has a shorter throw

The ITR shifter is chrome, not black, that is the only difference....the length and throw are exactly the same

Here's a shot of my jdm ITR shifter before i installed it

the R shifter does have a shorter throw
and if you mesure the 2 together you will see the diffrence is from the pivot ball to the shift rod pivot
but how would i know ...I own a 99 CTR
my other half owns an 99 ITR

Sorry, but the ITR shifter is the SAME dimensions as any other RS, LS, or GSR shifter

Here is a picture i have as a good comparison

Left to Right: MFactory, 94-01 Integra, and 00-01 Integra type-R
