When the current "Type 3" manual steering gear assemblies are depleted from service stock, the "Type 5" gear should be used as the replacement
assembly. The "Type 5" gear has a different appearance, but has been modified to fit prior model year applications. If any further service is required on
the "Type 5" gear, the 1986 Car Shop Manual should be used.
NOTE:
Detail service parts for the "Type 3" manual gear will still be available.
