I have a 70 TA with a 4-speed transmission. Many years ago when I had a clutch changed out the back-drive linkage was removed and not reinstalled. The next day I returned and asked where was it...and why wasn't it reinstalled? No one knew why nor there whereabouts. The only two pieces left was the upper rod clipped to the steering column and the lower piece that bolts to the frame. The lower rod and the piece the upper and lower rods attach too that swivels when placed in/out of reverse were gone. In those days these items were discontinued and not being reproduced. Needless to say I was slightly disgruntled.

Many years later I purchased a lower rod [right] and I believe it was from Year One but I can't be sure.

A few years after that I purchased a set from Ames the [left].

The rod on the right is approx. 21.25" and the one on the left is 20.5" long. Can someone tell me if "either" of these are correct and if so, which one?

I'd like to get this component reinstalled and the system working again.

Does anyone have a picture of the lower rod that wouldn't mind posting it or
maybe direct me to a site where I can see one.

Thanks,
