I am in the process of changing my 1979 35 Evinrude Serial no. E0002100 lower unit to a 1983 35 Evinrude Serial no. E0235213 lower unit my question is. The only difference I see is the shift rod, are the shift rods interchangeable?

Ok I need to add a question. How do I disconnect the shift rod on the 1983? It don't have that little door half way up housing like the 79 did darn it. So let me rephrase my above question. Can I swap the 83 rod to the 79 rod? Here is the or part. Or would it be easiers to just leave the 83 in and take out the upper half of the 79. Hope that makes sense to someone any help would be great Thanks.
