It would be easy enough to prove that.  Kent just needs to get a little
dirty and crawl under the car to look for the rod shifter box.   You can
also tell by the way the exhaust pipe is routed around that rod shifter
box.
However the symptom he describes doesn't sound like anything I ever read
anyone complain about with a rod shifter.  Unless he broke something in
the tranny...
