Will a stock GSR dual bend shifter fit perfectly onto the shift linkage of a civic? This would be going onto a 95 Si if that makes any difference. TIA

 

I dont know for sure but I do know that it would only take a few minutes to find out. Why don't you try it and educate the rest of us?

 

no it wont. you need to cut of one of the sides like 1/4 inch where the stock bearing goes

no it wont. you have to cut it slightly. i helped my friend do this

 

yes it does...i have one in my car...you have to bend the forks out on the shift linkage...heres a quick 1st grade illustration



thats what i did...and it worked...good luck

 

Thanks for the quick replies and the diagram!

 

I agree with BauleyCivic...cause I helped him put this in his car. It fits, you just need to bend your stock civic shift linkage end to accept the larger GSR shifter. The linkage bends real easy, just use a set of pliers and you're good to go

 

take the stock bearings out of the gsr and civic shifter. take the gsr shifter and cut 1/4 of the longer end side of where the shifter bolts on to the linkage(for measurements use the civic shifter). now once the gsr shifter has been modified take the bearing and all the seals from the civic and insert it all into the gsr shifter.

instant short throw shifter-keep in mind althought the throw is shorter the height of the shifter is somewhat taller than the civic. *enjoy and i wouldnt recomend just bending the linkage to fit the shifter like in the diagram in the previous post.

thats why i said it wont. you could get it cut and not have bent the **** out of you shift linkage

 

its easy as **** to bend...its like play doh...

oh well...both methods will work...but yes with some custom fabrication a gsr shifter WILL fit in a civic

 

I have a gsr shifter in my civic! The dual bend is nice and you get a slightly shorter through.

 

It fits!!!1 I have one in my 96 Coupe..

 

I would rather go through the 30 seconds it takes to bend the civic shift linkage (and it doesn't **** it up or ruin it at all) and not modify the Integra shifter. Cutting the shifter down and stuff takes more time and effort and you get, the same outcome basically...

30 seconds that will result some accident on the road that you could have avoided if you took the time to modify it correctly. here have a

 

I'd like to see the stats on the number of accidents caused by bent shift linkage.
