The 094 5-speed was standard from at least 1984, though USA didn't
get it. It's not really usable as a proper 5-speed, as 1st is far too
low and sits left & back, behind reverse. Awkward!

I have a unit lying about needing new 4th & 5th and mainshaft
bearing. But it's no use to anyone outside NZ, due to shipping costs.
