Good question... Since you can use the 4 speed linkage on a 5 speed, I would
guess it works the other way around as well.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hey gang, its become apparent that my low mileage 5 speed transaxle has a
dead bearing and needs to come out.  I guess I'll put the 4 speed back in so
I can drive it 'til the 5 speed's fixed.

Can anyone tell me if I can use the 5 speed shifter rod and box to operate a
4 speed without too much awkwardness?

Thanks a lot, Jake
