    Default W58 extension housings- non remove vs remote??

    My W58 has a non remote shifter & extension housing and the spare box I bought has the remote type shifter & extension housing. The 2 housings look very close once the remote shifter is removed. If I remove the extension housing and fit the non remote yoke to the selector shaft and non remote shifter, will it work just the same and bolt up just the same? Thanks

    Yes I've done it. You may need to swap the selected shaft also as the remote style box shaft has the bolt hole holding on the internal selector in a slightly different spot.

    Compare the two shafts when you have the boxes apart and see if there is a difference. I ended up redeilling the remote selector shaft as the end was slightly different and I didn't want to gamble that the other shaft would work. It is a pain to pull a box out of a car for a simple part to change back so best to compare now
