Identifying DC2R shift linkages

[DC2-PWR]

Cool thanks for the pics mate

Did it make a big difference after you replaced it?

too easy

yeah man my gear changing felt smoother and more of a firm feel. great upgrade with an itr gearbox

what counter weights?


yeah, what difference did you notice DC2-PWR???


lol, how can you tell?

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 confirm

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

DC2R has a much thicker shifting linkage with a tapered end, (stabilizer bar is the same) and the joint that mounts to the gbox is much larger

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 now

Thanks for the info man

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.

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?

The pics I posted of the black ones in post #14 are of USDM DC2 GSR linkages (VTIR in Aus) and they have the counter-weights on the end.

But yeh I'm pretty sure mine is DC2R

Moiz should confirm
