Hi folks.
I found an '84 2.0 in a junkyard and am trying to figure out what trans it has.
It looks like a TK trans (very similar to my TK5).
Differing from my trans: it has an external slave, and the shifter only wants to find 4 gears, no 5 or reverse. It has the sloppy plastic shifter tower like a TK5 instead of the metal shift tower of the TK4. The shifting feels very clicky/notchy except for the play that the plastic shifters generally have.
What I want to know is if this is a TK5 possibly with a bent or broken shift fork, hence it being unable to go into 5 or reverse. If it's a TK4 or one of the other trans then I probably don't want it...but the external slave arrangement would be awesome if it can be retrofitted to my TK5.
