[FC] 61 FC Transmission Linkage

[Vairtec Corporation]

I will echo the others here who have pointed out that it 'can' be 
done, but that it is a fairly comprehensive job to perform.

For, in my opinion, limited benefit.  Yes, the second design shifter 
is superior, but the "mystery shifter" is not very mysterious at all 
if you service it as others have outlined.  Plus, I think it works 
better the less you pay attention to shifting.  If you consciously 
try to find a gear, you won't.  But just drive without thinking, and 
it goes into the right gear every time.
