I bought a 5-speed trans several years ago and just tucked it away in the garage. I recently pulled it out to replace the seals and prep it for istall into my 1.6L turbo 93LE NA.
For the very first time, I noticed that it has a electronic speed sensor where the old mechanical speedo cable inserted in the NA trans.
Additionally, when I pulled apart the shifter, I saw that instead of a single slot in the fulcrum ball (this is where you'd replace the worn out crescent-shaped bushing) it has 2 slots, one on the front and back.
I looked up shifter rebuild kits but in the pictures I saw on RSpeed.net and MossMiata.com do not show any type of crescent bushing to go into these slots.
Questions:
[1] Can I remove the speed sensor on the trans and simply insert the speedo cable into it?
[2] Does the NB trans shifter not require crescent-shaped bushings in the fulcrum ball?
