in order to fit a stock gsr shifter in a civic, u need to grind down the piece that the bolt goes thru to hook up to the linkage. i had to grind down bout half inch i believe and then pull the bearings out of my stock civic shifter and put em in, inorder to use the shifter. cuz the gsr linkage is different then that of a civic, so u need to grind down the gsr shifter to fit.
