Is the rear shift rod on an 82 diesel supposed to be bent or straight?
I am replacing my rear shift rod because it has serious wear inside
the tube where the guide pin goes.  I got another rear shift rod
from an 82 diesel parts car and it is straight.  Actually, it looks
like it may have been straightened.  Mine has an upward bend as you
go from front to back on the car.  Which is correct?
Thanks.
