EF Hatch: Shift linkage and the infamous... pin
Hello all,
I recently picked up a fun little '91 EF hatchback. The car drives nicely and the transmission syncros are in good shape. The shift rod U-joint however, is completely worn and makes shifting an occasional pain. The shift bushings on the torque rod are fine (commonly replaced with Energy Suspension bushings and the likes), but the riveted U-joint and rod bushings are shot. I have seen "B-Series" swap rod replacements all over eBay and online, but will these work with a D-series transmission? The transmission is from a '91 CRX Si. I'd rather not grind out the rivet to replace the U-joint bushings and re-bolt/rivet the joint- I'd rather just outright replace the bar. Any advice on finding a new old stock part, or aftermarket?
