View Full Version : type R linkage in ek - question
hey guy
had my type R linkage installed a while ago
everything regardign shifting is fine no problems at all
however, what i am finding is
the shifting area heats warm-hot really easily
does anyone who have the type R linkage had such issues?
it was very rarely that the shifter would heat up like this when it was stock
i was thinking, mayb its coz of the material?

I have two posibilities in mind
1 the rubber boot wasnt put back in place and allowing heat to enter the cabin
2 the shifter is longer and sits closer to the exhaust, transfering heat to your quicker and more.

I know the JDM is gold(ish) in colour, cant remember AUDM
my linkage is jdm ek9 which is gold
well
i was thinking MAYBE coz the tyep R one is thicker so it transferr heat more?
im only randomly guessing
and i am runnign standard cat
gelo...does it get hot if the car is idling?
or only when driving/fanging?
it's that rubber seal under your shift boot that's causing heat.

gelo, how does it feel compared to the standard EK4 one ?
i.e. gear changing and throw.
Ive been keen to do the conversion but am researching it more.

ive read from people who say its exactly the same only a shofter shift.. quoted "It only feels more precise cause there is short shifter all other factors are the same"..
Im contemplating the same question...
it's that rubber seal under your shift boot that's causing heat.
actually i took it apart
and guess what
the rubber seal wasnt there
oops
:o
in regards of the shifter
the throw is shorter as you would expect
and the feelign is very precise
it slots in very firmly when u change the gears
personally, i feel like i can downshift quicker and smoother with the tyep R shifter (using heel and toe)
hahah i forgot to put my boot on properly when i fitted my type R shifter and Linkages 8)
yeah Adam did you ever drive Marz's DC2-R or another DC2-R ? it's exactly the same as the type R shift if u use the linkages and shifter..

Bede I have driven many ITR's and S2000
I wanted to know what the EK9 in EK4 shifter was like.
