    Yes, you have to use an 83-84 R shifter to match the frame, AND you have to replace the shifter shaft (81-82 R shaft is longer and won't fit in the frame)... OR you have to do what I did and cut down the 81-82 R shifter shaft. I cut mine with a cutoff wheel because I didn't have any use for the first gen shaft because I don't have a frame from those years... Either way you go you still need a different shifter... I wouldn't recommend cutting the shaft like I did, but they are hard to find and weren't cheap when found from what I remember.

    (See the few posts directly above yours for explanation and pictures.)

    Hope this helps!

    To add to my previous post... if you notice in my third picture (sorry it's kind of close up) the 83-84 R shifter has a riser on it that takes it up and over the frame. The 81-82 shifter does not have that riser to my recollection. This is why you have to change the shifter as well.
