WILL IT WORK T-case swap

Will the shift linkage from a manual BW13-50 work on a manual shift BW13-54 t-case?????
Finding the entire shift linkage for a manual 13-54 seems to be difficult. The linkage for manual 13-50 is VERY easy to find.

It will work with some modification. Search around, I think we've discussed this a few times, with some pictures too.

i took a 1350 shift linkage and straightened it out, it works but not long enough for my pickyness, maybe 3/16'th too short....

I cut the rear half(section that had to be straightened) added some metal and welded it to lengthen it

Would you happen to have some pics? I searched around but could not find any treads with pics, a couple were supposed to have some but the guys never up- loaded them.

I'd like so see exactly what will need to be tweaked and straightened.

the 1350 linkage is bent as opposed the the 1354 linkage being straight

1350

1354

straighten it out as flat as you can and it will work

or do what IZWack did, which is what i'm hoping to do tomorrow
