Proper Shift Lever Install to the Main Lever

How to Fit New Delrin Inserts

Complete design, assembly, and installation Guide

 

9/23/25 Update: I will have 20 Full-Race kits available to ship the week of the 29th and will continue to machine new components to make an 10 Full-Race kits and 20 more Short Throw Rebuild kits to use up my current stock of billets.  Due to the stores inventory function and multiple kits sharing multiple components, inventory shown may reduce suddenly for a specific kit depending on orders.  The media blaster is currently malfunctioning and as soon as it's repaired I will have 8 CB shifter chassis zinc plated with the Full-Race kits installed ready to drop in.  Please be patient as I get the orders out over the next few weeks.  Orders will be fulfilled as soon as the kits are assembled and inspected.

 

Complete installations instructions in PDF form will be available mid October, please reference the videos for proper installation in the mean time.

 

Style (reference M5/Cotter Pin picture to compare to what is actually in your car)

Two Cotter Pins

  • Most 90-91's and some 92-93's came with a main shift lever that uses a cotter pin along with the gate selector using a cotter pin.

 

M5/Cotter Pin

  • Some 90-91's and most 92-93's came with a main shift lever that uses an M5 nut and washer along with the gate selector using a cotter pin.

 

 

Build Options:

Short Throw Kit: Reduced front to rear throw and choice of solid or stiff shifter base bushings.

  • Billet aluminum arm relocates the shift post to reduce front to back throw.  To ensure clearance to the center console, the short throw kit must come with BIB lifted bushings and bucket drop kit. Without the full race kit, the gate selector cable will positioned with a higher offset angle.
  • Includes:
    • BIB 7075-T6 billet aluminum main shift lever adapter (-32% travel from OEM).
    • BIB Carbon fiber nylon lever to adapter spacer (cotter pin style shifter only).
    • BIB Grade 10.9 Shifter posts.
    • Zinc plated/stainless steel hardware.
    • BIB 2024-T6 billet aluminum bucket drop spacers and new Grade 10.9 bolts to eliminate cable bind/wear.
    • BIB carbon fiber PETG (solid) or 95A Polyurethane (mostly solid/stiff) chassis lift bushings to clear bucket from contacting the body after the bucket is lowered (Taller than OEM option).
    • Order the CB/CD/BB4 Stainless Shifter Base Bolt Kit from the store if you have the shorter shifter base bushings as shown in the picture.

 

Premium Rebuild Kit: Full Rebuild Kit w/ metal bearing conversion, BIBs bushings optional.

  • For the easy cruisers who like Hondas engineering, but with a slightly higher budget in mind. This option only rebuilds the shifter without modifying the geometry. This kit can be updated to the full race kit later on!  It converts the plastic sleeve bearing to a dual ball bearing in the gate selector and replaces the plastic main lever bushing with a PTFE lined spherical metal bearing with BIB billet stainless high misalignment spacers improving longevity, feel, and reducing friction.  Also included are the BIB billet Delrin-AF 150 shifter inserts.  Made of billet acetal and Delrin-AF 150 for maximum friction reduction with tighter tolerances than the OEM plastics.  Reduces friction, increases stiffness, and eliminates all lash and slop in the shifter.
  • Includes:
    • Spherical main lever bearing with PTFE liner.
    • Ball bearing conversion for Gate Selector.
    • Stainless steel bearing spacer for thrust loads.
    • Zinc plated/stainless steel hardware.
    • BIB billet acetal bearing retainer inserts.
    • BIB billet Delrin-AF 500 anti rotation inserts.
    • BIB billet Delrin-AF 500 gate selector bushing.
    • PTFE grease packet.

 

Premium Short Throw Kit: Premium Rebuild Kit + Short Throw Shift Kit

  • This kit is the combination of the Premium Rebuild Kit and the Short Throw Kit as a combo discount.  Zero compliance feel with the shorter travel transforms the car into a sports car feel and makes the shift so crispy!
  • Includes:
    • BIB Short Throw Kit
    • BIB Premium Rebuild Kit

 

Full Race Rebuild Kit: Premium Rebuild Kit + Short Throw Kit + Short Gate Lever

  • This kit builds on the Premium Short Throw Kit and replaces the OEM steel gate selector with a lighter, stronger, stiffer, and longer gate lever, reducing the left to right travel of the knob.
  • Includes:
    • BIB 7075-T6 billet aluminum gate selector (-41% travel from OEM).
    • BIB Brass Rod End Spacers
    • BIB Short Throw Kit
    • BIB Premium Rebuild Kit

 

Complete Full Race Drop-In: Zinc Plated Chassis + Full Race Kit + Out of Box Ready

  • Completely remanufactured OEM CB7 shifter with all the BIB upgrades available and assembled in house so it's ready to install right out of the box.  No insert fitting, no finicky spring washer installation.
  • Includes:
    • Fully zinc plated OEM components
      • Base Plate
      • Shifter box
      • Modified Main shift lever with travel stops
      • Main shift lever bearing retainer brackets
    • BIB Full Race Rebuild Kit
    • BIB In-House assembly for perfect fit and tighter tolerancing.
    • Only available if shown in stock and are built in batches to be zinc plated.

     

    Bushings:

    All kits come with new galvanized inner metal sleeve. Please order the extended bushing hardware kit if your shifter comes with the shorter bushings shown in one of the pictures, as the bolts won't be long enough. Full-Race, Short Throw, and Premium Short Throw kits come with the lifted bushings and the Premium Rebuild Kit will come with the shorter OEM height bushings.

     

    Solid

    • Black or Red carbon fiber PETG 3D printed bushings.

     

    95A Polyurethane

    • Black or Red 95A polyurethane 3D printed bushings. Nearly solid, but they still isolate some high frequency vibration.

     

    Custom

    • Custom color for either solid or poly bushings. Please reach out first if interested in an uncommon color.

     

    None

    • Select Black option to calculate price if not purchasing bushings.

     

    Additional Info:

    • The short throw kits will drop the shift knob center approximately 25mm. A 25mm shift knob extension will be available in the future.
    • Due to vehicle build variation, the provided button cap screws with the bucket drop kit may contact the body. If so, the spacers can be shortened to accommodate. Thick washers can also be placed under the main chassis bushings to space everything up.
