I swear when I changed to the Kury flame linkage I said to myself...oh wow look at that this comes right out.....
Been a while but I think your going to find that an easy swap out....
See what someone else says...worse come to worse PM me and I'll look it up in the service manual...
The rear splines a different story...

I don't think he was talking about the linkage. I believe he was referring to the splined shaft and shift lever.
On my '91 it stripped and I reached back there and tack welded it - after a thorough cleaning of course.
On my 2000 it also stripped and I took a long jeweler's diamond tipped bit and drilled a hole between the Allen head screw and the lever perfectly piercing the shaft and dropped a 16d nail in it.
I did both of these things because you are looking at pulling the tranny to replace that shaft. I figured if either of these things failed - what the heck - I was going to have to pull the tranny anyway.... Sorry.

That shaft comes right out......
Thats the one he needs to replace.....
Ya got to keep those pegs supper tight on the new shaft...they can get loose before you even realize they are loose......then you wind up stripping out the shaft.....easy job in the front.....hell in the rear
