    Stuck in Reverse

    This explains why I couldn't shift out of Reverse.
    Busted trans linkage.
    Fix:
    Ordered new 19/64 O.D steel rod off Amazon. Will bend to shape, thread the end and replace.

    What is this part called?

    This is on a 1949 Jeepster and is under / behind the left side control arm. I cant find a name for it anywhere. Outside of "hot rust mess".
