Can anybody tell me the different lengths of shift linkages among the different models of Civics and Del Sols? I've heard that Del Sol linkages are the shorter of the bunch, but I recently did an auto to manual swap in my '94 Del Sol using parts from a '95 LX 4-Door and the shift linkage is too short by about 1 to 1-1/2 inches. I'm still using it, because I'm that guy, but I'd rather have the right length. Which civics would give me the right length?

 

The Del Sol linkage is longer than the civic linkage. The only linkage that works is one from a Del Sol.

 

Del Sol linkage is not only longer, it rises in height for the taller center tunnel. You MUST use SOHC Del Sol linkage for proper operation... civic linkage will rub on the underside of the rear crossmember and the center tunnel.
