I have the linkage for the tranny i also read that you have to cut 2 inches from it to make a bit shorter. My question is where Do i cut it im asking because it has several Bends and i dont want to mess it up. Anybody done this B fore

 

to cut the linkage u have to use 90-93 integra linkages and i believe its an inch an a quarter ive had it done but dont know the measurements off hand. i cut it from a straight part in the center of both linkages, put one size smaller pipe inside the linkages to reinforce the cut, then welded them back together, make sure if u get it done to weld it back the same way it was cut, like mark a straight line down the linkages, then cut out the inch and a quarter, then make sure the line is still straight, it worked great on my car, but ive seen people do it and it wasnt good too, but i took my time....

 

do i cut both linakages the same lengt?

 

ok im cutting>?

No, only the Teg shift linkage.

 

I'm using hasport mounts and cut mine 2 5/8 inches and it worked perfect

 

you cut both shift rods the same amount.

 

Don't sweat so much about how much has to be cut out! If you cut too much of the tubing out, they just get some .75 inch bar stock to connect the rod ends together and take up the lost material. Three-quarter inch bar stock fits perfectly inside the tubes and is the best way to join them. Also, if you go this route, you don't even have to weld. If you don't have a welder, you can just drill holes through the tubes/bars and connect them with 8mm bolts/nuts.

 

The length cut depends on where the engine / transmission mounts place the engine.

Here is how it's done;

im a very young person so back in the day to me is like last year ,,what i meant to say was, when i started getting into the hondas your site helped me alot..

 

Buy a hasport one.

 

"Buy a hasport one" <U>only</U> if the mounts you are using place the engine and transmission in exactly the same location as the Hasport mounts!!

Wes (I'm old and two years is nothing) Vann

 

ya, there is no way ill be buying any hasport reasons for^^ reason. that and im not spending $150+ on something i can do myself. hell if i mess up i can still fix it, and if i mess up bad enough(don't know how), i can always get some more junk linkages.

besides cutting and welding is just so much more fun!

 

can you not just use the crx linkage and cut it down?
