There are two different transmissions made for this car. The 4 speed/ 2 up-2 down, and the 3 speed h-tree as mine has. So many assume that all the 4/2-2, but that is not the case. Like I said, mine has an H-tree pattern. I have found out that there is one linkage adjustment to make the reverse work, although I have been unable to get it done [not a one man job, especially if handicapped] by myself.
