Civic EG

I just bought a 93 Hatch and It needs the shifter linkage replaced. I have the Linkage I just was wondering what the best way to replace it was. Any help is greatly appreciated.

ummm really all you do is unbolt it and i think its a 1/4in punch for the bitch pin the should probaly be your first task is hammering that thing out.

but its pretty straight forward just make sure to take your time....

I think it was an #8 punch that fit the bitch pin perfectly... but look around the garage, anything the right size should do.

Here's a link for installing the linkage on a CVT equipped HX.

The only difference is that in the first few pics where I had to drill out the spot welds to remove that panel below the auto shifter, you can ignore that step because EG's don't have that extra plate to remove.

the bitch pin....... prayer is the only way.
