For more positive shifting, I want to use an 02J gear selector in an 02A transmission. I hear that the 02J gear selector will fit the 02A transmission. However, the 02J used at least two gear selectors—one with ball ends for the shifter cables, and a second with clips to retain the shift cable ends to the selector levers.
The earlier gear selector—with ball-end attachment for shift cables—has a flat on the shaft that fits into the bottom of the trans case.
The later gear selector—with clips that retain the shift cables—has no flat on the shaft that fits into the bottom of the trans case. Instead that shaft has a couple grooves around its circumference.
Are these gear selectors interchangeable?
