Anyone know where I can find a shifter assembly and link age for a 85 gl 5spd dr?

In the middle of my swap 86 Brat 4 speed to 5 speed and I can't find it anywhere online. 4wd lever is needed too. All help appreciated!

Use the 4spd stuff and customize it to work. The 5spd stuff won't fit without cutting in the brat.

usually, you cut the linkages, shorten to suit & then weld back together as they push the linkages in the same way despite the 4wd lever working the opposite direction.

Thanks guys! Looks like the linkages are totally different from the 4 to 5 speed.. IL try to rig something up as I can't even find the shifter for the 5 speed.

The way the linkages work on the back of each gearbox are the same though, so you can get the 4 speed stuff to work on the 5 speed, you just need to adapt the ends.

 

I've never had the 4 spd though, so I don't know if the 4 spd linkages will physically fit onto the 5 spd trannie. You'll need to do a test fit.

 

If you really get stuck, I can send you some linkages from over here.
