see the collar fits in stock shifter but wont fit in b&m shifter

eh, KY and big hammer.

haha...not gonna happen need help seriously somebody have a pic of there stock shifter i can see please to make sure this is the stock shifter i removing the collar out of...

You could get the part number off it and call a honda dealership to conferm its the right one. Hell it may be the wrong short shifter you baught.

i beleve that the b&m shifter comes with bushings that go in place of the stock piece but u could always drill it out so the stock piece would fit

hey i could be worng, but the stock honda shifters ive seen are black. hmm that shaft thingie, = the hole where the bolt goes in and someone suggested a hammer. I didnt have to go through that. your missing 2 pieces that almost look like o-rings but sit in between the shifter and the holder then on the out side of the holder should be washers on each side before the bolts. I'll draw up a pic to explain because i dont have pics, or wait until tommorow morning, i have to pull my short shifter out, then i could PC cam up a couple of pics!

Why would you buy a shortshifter without the bearings included? Note: the bearings on my APC shifter (don't flame it f@cking works great) look like skateboard bearings... but the stock bearings in the honda shifter are totally different... well, they were totally wasted in my unit. Plus, I had to take it out twice cuz I didn't replace the bushings the first time... ugh, what a pain in the ass. Remember to replace the bushings. I paid $30 from dealership for top dust seal, plastic ball sleeve and bottom mount bushing... GL

i have polyurethane kit i am putting on car...by the way about orings the shifter did come with them every shifter needs a collar or you will have all the play in the world on the shifter but ya show me a pic be nice thanks itech

hey, sorry for the late reply and i didnt get around to pulling that shifter out, but as soon as i do. i'll post pics on it. in the mean time here's a detail pic of something i hope would help you out.

here is the diagram:

i cant remember what came with my short shifter, i do remember bearings though but i didnt have to inseart any bushings. i did have to pull out my ball seat, but i packed that cylinder with grease = since i had to puul out the seat, i didnt want raw metal on metal without lube.

ok lets try that post again on the pic
