Default Marathon forward/reverse switch.

I have an old "87" Marathon and was wondering if anyone could tell me what size square is the end of the shaft on the forward/reverse switch ? I'm away from my cart and can't check it. Looking at an extended shifter.

The square shaft on all years Ezgo takes a 9/16th wrench - I don't know if that is close enough or if you need a more exact measurement?

Thanks, I machined up a custom forward/reverse extended shifter machining the pocket to 9/16" square and went out to the campground this weekend and it fit like a glove and works great !!

And I'm curious as to why an extension was needed? Some super shift knob?

Lol, I always take pics but this time I didn't think about it. Carts at the camper twenty miles from here. Won't get back out till this weekend, I will then post pics. Wanted an extended shifter for more leverage, the stock one was a little tight. So much easier to shift now.
