Which linkage is this exactly?  I've had trouble getting into first and
second since I put a clutch in a couple of months ago.  I did separate the
front section from the rear section about midways under the vanagon, but I
don't remember there being any way of rotating the 'linkage' since it went
together with a bolt through a U-shaped piece on one end and cylinder on
the other.  Kind of reminded me of a U-joint.

Thanks
