The linkage needs to come from a 3rd gen teg, 6th gen Si or a del sol vtec because of the length. It reaches the correct distance back to hook up to the shifter. the 2nd gen teg is shorter, if I'm not mistaken, so you would have to reposition the hole in your floor, make a new console, etc. And that would just be retarded... It's that, get the right linkage in the first place, or get the 2nd gen one and cut and weld.
