Right I dunno if it's just me being stupid or its because I'm tired I went to fit these parts today and they have stumped me how do the linkages fit I have popped mine off but these seem to be male ends and I need female ones that push on the ball also the quick shifter it self where is that supposed to go as the place where I thought it fitted is to small to fit over the end any ideas. Here is what I have

Undo the little spring clip and pull it out. The ball joint with the thread on will then pull out with pliers. Fit them on your car and refit the spring clip, job done.

Never seen linkages with the screw in balls attached before. How would you go about fitting those? Are the old OEM balls that the rods attach to removeable?

Nope they are pressed in, you are supposed to grind the tops off then the old one hammers out then put the screw through and a nylon nut, not much point to be honest.
