Sure, the 5" longer connector does replace that one. But the 5.5 & 7.5 don’t use a shift rod connector. That’s why you have to pull the powerhead to disconnect the shift rod.
BTW, although it doesn’t apply here, for anyone that does use a 5" longer connector, it will work much better if you saw a slot near the bolt holes at each end, mimicing the slot in the short one. That will allow it to clamp down on the rod better.
