Gearbox Extension compatability

Postby ace124 » Mon Sep 11, 2017 8:13 am

Hi
I currently have a pull up reverse engagement 5 speed from an early 124.
I want to replace the gearbox with a later model that has push down reverse engagement.
I want to keep the pull up reverse extension. Can i simply swap them over?
I mean, can i remove the push down extension and replace it with my old pull up extension and that it?

The up or down is part of the extension, not the transmission. So yes, you can swap it over.
