6 speed shifter help
#8
If that's the only difference you could just buy a hybrid bushing (small ball but larger Od, "shaft tip 15mm D, turret hole 21mm D").

Just to help people out with the identification, 6 speed shifters are 3/16 shorter between the big ball and the small ball, and the big ball is bigger on the NB2 shifters. So:
NA 5MT: long shaft, small ball, one slit
NB 5MT: long shaft, small ball, two slits
NB1 6MT: short shaft, small ball, two slits
NB2 6MT: short shaft, large ball, two slits
Now we can all consider ourselves experts on shafts, *****, and slits.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but, does anyone have approximate measurements of the *****? I pulled a shifter from my 6 speed and something doesn't seem right. My ball (I'm a one ball man and I'm off the rodeo...) measures 14.92mm, and the control rod end it goes into, without a bushing fitted, is 15.18mm. Does that sound right?

Sorry about this, I had a noob moment and measured the wrong control rod end. But, between myself and the seller of the transmission I have (who is a stand up guy up in El Monte) we came up with some measurements.
90-05 5 speed shifter with bushing: 18.75mm
99-00 6 speed shifter with bushing: 18.75mm
01-05 6 speed shifter with bushing: 21.5mm
I hope my mistake can help someone else out in the future.
