Short Shifter and a swap question.

I want to get a short shifter for my 98 ex. Problem is, I plan on doing a swap to a b18c1 come spring. Will I have to change the short shifter when I do the swap? I'd rather not spend money on something that is coming out in a few months. Thanks

All you will need is the shift linkage for a B series tranny. 88-00 shifters are the same 99% sure.

I see. The problem is that I'm currently using a d16y8. Going from a d series to a b series may pose a problem. If anyone has any more input on d-b I'd appreciate it.
