I am swapping a b16 hydro motor into my friend del sol. I heard that the shift linkage is longer and I need the shift linkage from a 1994 del sol dohc b16? Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Khang

check your local junkyard. They can normally have on ein a few days for you.

you can also use the shift rods from a 99-00 civic si as well.

 

Nope. Not without cutting and welding or something major like that.

Get the factory del Sol VTEC shift rods from the dealer or a junk yard. You may be able to use one of the stock del Sol (non-VTEC model) ones, but I can't remember if I did or not.

HTH!

i am using those shift rods right now, unless the del sol is different from my eh3

 

I got mine at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com brand new. Only about $40 per rod, I kills me to see people buy them used for $150.

 

Right. The del Sol is different from the Civic platform in terms of the shift linkage.

HTH!

besides the shift linkage, did u need to change the axels? cause i got a 93 del sol sohc 1.6 and im putting in a dohc 1.6 so now i guess im gonna need the shift linkage, just wondering what else do i need? motor mounts? axles?

 

Axles, mounts, throttle cable.

 

i thought the mounts work?
