Ok i installed my place racing shift linkage. I'm having trouble putting it on first gear. So what i noticed is that the 2 bars are rubbing against each other. I called place racing and they send they sent me the rite one. I don't wanna go through all that trouble to exchange it. Does anybody have this problem? Oh yeh i just ordered a dome washer for it so maybe it could be that but not sure? Please help. THanks

mine rubbed a lil too, i had to bust out the grinder since i had a short shifter, but with the stock shifter it will fit perfect. So im assuming that u have a short shifter!!

Yeh i have dc sports short shifter. So it wouldn't hurt to grind?

What is the point of replacing the shift linkage? What is bad about the old one?

If you're gonna drop a b series motor in there u need to custom ur shift linkage or buy the ones that are already customed. The stock will not fit on the b series.

the SiR linkage fit on my car, we didnt touch the length. We test fitted and realized it would work. :shrug: it sits a little farther back, but no interference. HASport mount kit was used.

Hey having HCP mounts doesn't have anything to do with the shift linkage rubbing does it?
