gearstick/linkage identification please

[oldiguana]

guys could someoneplease tell me what i have here please....its supposed to be a 5 speed stick,box n linkages......anybody cast any light on it for me.....cheerz

the box top right is 5 speed

the rear linkage with the cup on is petrol (doesn't matter wether 4 or 5 speed)

the front linkage looks like 4 speed as does the gearstick to me but I'd have to compare against a known one which I don't have here

cheerz owduck...i had the stick n box off steve mocki so they are probably ok....but i bought the linkages as 5 speed.....so im a bit p****d off........was sellin them on e-bay but stevetrader pointed out the prob....poopoo

I noticed these on the flee hole and was gonna comment , as aiden says rear cup looks the short one, box is 5sp and stick 4sp , front linkage is 4sp, , I would out of interest put something like this together as I dont need all the dedents for the different gates etc, so I would think that setup would be made to work.

ok....so would this jigsaw be ok for use with a 5 speed box.......what would i need to make it work.........cherz in advance guys

I'd take out the blocks from the bottom box, send them to silverbullet for patterns and get a top hat for the gearbox from a suitable source (say a gearbox rebuilder) and fit that to the gearbox (easy to do no special tools or expertise required) and go with that, you wouldn't have a fully positive gate for the 2nd3rd plane but it would probably be as good as most 5 speeds I've driven and less complex and you would still have the necessary lockout for reverse, just an idea

Well I dont see why not, the bit at the back will be ok and providing the rear shift rod will mate up with the front one then yes join these, the selector box and stick will certainly fit together on your floor and the front shift rod will for sure fit the 4sp stick you have ,so correctly adjusted I would say yes.
Without doing it myself I would not be sure if the ally guides on the base of the selector box would be doing much but again I dont find them needed unless you have a very sloppy mechanism,
I have just set mine up so would be loath to pull it appart to try but will look at it next time im involved with it.
