A BETTER B Series Shift Linkage (The Hasport Version!)

B Series Linkage From Hasport
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
Our buddy Sally McNulty from ‪@teamsallyracing‬ had a big problem with her B series powered Civic EK hatchback, the freaking shift linkage decided to peace out. This left her with a non-running car at the track. So, she took this opportunity to upgrade her driving life with a brand spanking new shift linkage from Hasport Performance. Brian walks through the improvements that he made that makes the shift linkage a better option than another used part.

I can confirm it is a great shift linkage. It works awesome on my B16 EK hatch daily driver. I paired it with a Skunk2 dual bend shift lever and Skunk2 weighted shift knob, new OEM ball cage, new OEM ball cage rubber boot , and hardrace shifter bushings. Shifts are crisp and precise.👌

[@VTECAcademy]

Great to hear! That sounds like a solid setup.

[@deieznuts]

It’s cool to see her speak in real time, cuz she usually does voice overs.. to avoid bloopers I suppose 😂

[@VTECAcademy]

LOL That clearly wasn't the case this time. Such a fun time hanging out and talking Hondas!

[@singlecams]

Does anyone make the plate the shifter sits in that bolts to the linkage?

[@teamsallyracing]

HAHAHA EXCELLENT!

[@VTECAcademy]

✌️

[@dabuzz6611]

Does it fit in a 88-91 Civic wagon without cutting though?

[@vitalioz]

Best Civic generation.

[@JohnnieIsBored]

Is this better than the innovative linkage?

[@arturo8167]

excuse my question my engine is b18c1 and transmission b16 cable what differentiates the EFB1 and EF8STK supports??

[@Tug-Speedman]

EFB1 mounts are for USDM EF CIVIC/CRX getting a b series swap, the car was originally D series. EF8STK mounts are for an EF8/CRX that came with a b series from the factory(JDM). They are upgraded replacements.

[@Tug-Speedman]

To add to that, EFB1 are the mounts you would want to use with your cable trans. EFB2 is the kit for a using the hydro transmission(need rear t bracket as well)
