I'm having a friend swap the automatic from my old 77 Bobcat hatchback, which is no longer part of the fleet, into my Cruising Wagon. The wagon currently has a four-speed manual and it will go down to the guy who bought the donor Bobcat. The only problem I have with the manual tranny is that it seems to need what I've heard called a rag joint. I can't differentiate by feel first gear from reverse or third. It works fine, just have to test what gear I'm in before I get going. Any thoughts on this one? Is this rag joint hard to come by? I've been told it is essentially a piece of leather with the shift pattern cut into it, but I've never seen one.
