Re: Anybody parting a 4kq or 5ktq?
I can't comment on the swap linkage in a B2/3/4 however I can say for sure that the B5 S4 linkage is HORRIBLE. The shifter setup in my T44 with the 01E feels FAR superior to the B5. It doesn't even feel like the same transmission.

Also, back on topic. Hank, I think I have a spare 016 shifter ball. I'll check for you!

The b2 linkage is basically idential to urS linkage, so the feel is basically the same.
Yeah, I'd love to have the 016 ball if you have it.

Also jhm stuff makes the shifter so much more..."intimate".

JHM linkage has scored me 2 "locked up transmissions" that were really just JHM linkage breaking

damn hank, cant win with you and your linkage experience. i just liked how it felt. i dont have one:-D
Re: Anybody parting a 4kq or 5ktq?
No the JHM stuff works well. It helps get the rubber out of the feel of the b5-6 shifter setup.
