The 656 has the same linkage as the 544, does it not? I was able to rebuild mine without buying any parts. I made new "gates" (the notched plates in the selector mechanism) with a Dremel and drill press and drilled out the linkages and installed oversize pins. Note that the pins in the final link are supposed to be welded in. If these welds are broken you"ll have lots of slop. You also want to make sure the neutral detent is working. On mine the ball has worn a groove in the selector shaft, rendering the detent useless. Someday I"ll weld up the groove and turn it down on the lathe.
