More detail for series I gearbox, if you are determined to fix your gear lever by combining parts from two levers’s it should work. Try heating the joint if it’s a shrink fit you may be able to pull the rod out of the lower section. Failing that it’ll be a matter of cutting and drilling. Just a point on joining upper and lower parts welding is strong but weakens the surrounding metal, so do the minimum. I wouldn’t even go to all that trouble, though. You could just build up blobs of weld over the wear facets on your existing gearlever and grind them back until the original profile is restored.MIG welding would be harder than before so may eventually wear the selector shafts but I am guessing you won’t be doing a sufficient mileage to make this a possibility.
Alternatively, you might look at swapping to later gearlever completely. The S llA lever I examined would fit on to your gearbox, and I am told that Slll lever fit as well. Assuming the rubber ring was still in place you get a quieter gearlever. But the gearlever wouldn’t look just the same as an early version soon after the change to Series ll models levers became longer and more sharply cranked.
