Default Lost shifter linkage? Am I screwed?

It looks like I have lost the little plate on my 4speed shifter that bolts to the tranny on one end, and to the reverse rod on the shifter on the other. I can only Imagin that I will have to buy another shifter!!!
Any Ideas???

If you are in a city of any size then there is probably a tranny shop that handles manuals. They probably have a scrap pile of these things. I don't remember, but I'd bet that the Muncie & BW trannies used the same shift arms.

The overhaul kit I bought came from him. Exchanged a few emails with him asking questions and he replied with the answer in an hour. His card says he has new, used and rebuilder parts in stock.

Just looked in the ZIP catalog and they have a "linkage set" for $75.50 looks like everything you'll need.
