ok, so started the b20 del sol swap....the one thing holding me back at the moment is the shift linkage stabilizer... i got the shift linkage to fit, but the stabilizer like doesn't match up...do i need to take the one from the donor (eg coupe) that the b20 was in before and put that in the del sol? and if so do i swap both the linkage and the stabilizer?

yeah i knew the eg linkage was shorter, the delsol linkage is longer, you could extend the linkage your self, a yard near me actually had the whold delsol vtec swap, thats the linkage you need friend :thumb: id try ebay and see what you get....

even if it fits it dosent mean its 100% rite....

hasport and avid make good after market linkage, i got hasport for my hatch...

You gotta have del sol linkage, or cut and add 2 inches to eg linkage, I had cut/welded linkage on my car at first, But I then switched to Hasport linkage, cause welded linkage is sketchy.
