hey guys this car is getting on my nerves now, i have it rolling now, got the shafts and new rear mount in, went to put the shifters in from a 5 door civic vti, one thing i want to know is do i need to cut the floor to fit the shifter properly, when i line up the shifter its very close to the e brake handle. stuart
you are converting from auto to manual correct?
I dont think you need to cut out the floor at all , just drill 2 holes where there are 2 round recessed areas in the layer of the sheet metal- right behind where the rear 2 bolt holes for the auto shifter were.
That's all I did and it lined up fine.
Or perhaps the 5 door has a different shaped shift linkage than the hatch/coupe share - I might bet on that if nothing else is working out.
Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
