I've had a short throw shifter and new poly shifter bushings for the longest time but havent gotten around to putting them into my 2000 civic ex, I tried to today but the shift linkage was so badly rusted and I wasnt able to remove one of the bolts holding it on. I'd like to just buy a new linkage as a replacement but havent been able to find a d-series 6th gen civic linkage anywhere, I found a guy selling one for a 5th gen d-series civic, does anybody know if they're the same linkage or close enough to be compatible for a swap?

 

Can we get some pictures and measurements please?

 

I doubt they are the same, just go to the junkyard and find one. Better yet there's a lot you can do with a wire drill attachment and some black paint. Just drill the bold out and replace it and then restore your linkage.

 

IT'S THE SAME LINKAGE

if you don't believe me, here you go....
