Can anyone tell me if this shift linkage is from a DC2R?
Shift Rod approx. 28mm
Extension Rod approx. 22mm
Bonus point if you can tell me who makes this anodized blue short shifter.

I thought DC2R Shift Linkages were a gold/bronze colour, unless that's been painted of course.
From what I've seen online, all the gold/bronze ones were JDM linkages.
Can anyone with a DC2R confirm they have black linkages?
My dc2r shift linkage is black. No, it's never been painted. Maybe the JDM ones are different?Quote:

IMO they're all the same and what makes a difference is the GB itself and the bushings you use.
good luck.
I got mine off a 2000 DC2R and it's the bronze color
jap spec or au spec?Quote:

Yeh did you get that off a JDM model? I'm assuming you replaced the VTI-R linkages, did you notice any differences when comparing the two?
I've read reports that non Type-Rs have counter-weights on the end of the linkage to reduce noise and vibration.
How can you tell dude? Is it because it doesn't have the counter-weights?Quote:

Got these pics off Google but if you look at the end of the linkage near where shifter bolts in there is this big weight. I've read on Honda-tech that Type-Rs don't have this. I'm not sure if this is the same in AUS, maybe someone with a VTIR can confirmQuote:

did you upgrade together with the GB or before or after?Quote:

BTW Moiz, looks like the bush connecting your linkage to your gbox wasnt put on properly. They are a bit of a PITA to do though lol
+rep for you sir
Yeah it wasn't man, took me a few goes to get it in properly but all g nowQuote:

Thanks mate appreciate that. I'm certain mine are DC2R linkages but I wish somebody had some pics of AUDM DC2 VTI-R linkages so I can compare.
BTW are those your linakges? The DC2R looks like the end has been modified.
OEM

That photo u just posted doesn't seem right, even the photo of the black ones u posted is the same as mine (unmondified)
Bust seriously, I have come across four different shift linkages, not one set have been the same, all with slightly different bends etc, one set was even significantly longer and we have to modify it to make it fit, maybe it was front a crv or something who knows. Urs are defiantly dc2r linkages.
Also point of interest, b16 and b18 shift linkages are different and u will need to use the appropriate shifter
If you google Type-R linkages they all look like that (the gold ones). Your one looks like it has an extra tube piece welded on the end. Did you get that off an AUDM or JDM model?Quote:

But yeh I'm pretty sure mine is DC2R
Moiz should confirm
this has made me very keen on some precise answers.
will get under my car and post pics.
Take measurements too Thanks :)
I went through some old pics of my EG and I think it might have DC2R linkages fitted too. I'm going to get under it tomorrow and check.
DC2-PWR please answer, thaNKSQuote:

Looks like u have an alloy bush on the stabilizer bar
I don't see an alloy bush, looks completely standard.
2000 dc2r AUDM here, black shift linkages
