does anyone know if the shift linkage on the 4cyl B series...mostly the Bp05 powered cars, the same as the kl/k8 shift linkage?

No, they will not be the same.

The 4 banger has a shorter linkage by an inch or so. Other than that they look exactly the same so be careful about which one you get.

gee thanks moron!

i was implying if anyone knows for sre that BP05/G series shiftlinkage is different from the B6e/KLde linkage. i was asking for reasurence that i HAVE to get the V6 linkage. if i can get away with using my stock protege/escort linkage that would be money saved for me.

theres no need for the attitude

Well damn, genious... you got the same answer from two people saying that the 4-cyl linkage is a different part and length than a 6-cyl one.

If you are going to use a 4-cyl motor & tranny, then use the 4-cyl linkage. If you are going to use a 6-cyl motor & tranny, then use the 6-cyl linkage.

We have comapred then side by side and there IS a noticeable difference in length.

So-- YES, YOU HAVE TO GET THE V6 LINKAGE.

That makes three seperate people who are telling you the same thing.

Are you reassured enough now??
