NEW Shift linkage Fix!

I put about 10 of these together last night, its a direct replacement for the 1/4" shift rod going from the shifter to the case. The factory rod has been known to bend now and then and flex way too much, causing the the need for the linkage to be constantly adjusted. This new linkage will NOT bend or flex..its made from 4130 chromoly with billet tube ends with opposite threads. Its an easy fix and will save you time and money, super simple replacement, you use all your factory hardware. What do ya think?

the rods look very nice. However some of the problems are that the mast that the shifter is bolted to flexes alot as well as motor movement. Will the stiffer rod make the probles worse. Or find a weaker link???

All the stiffer rod can do is help, and IMO the stock linkage is one of the weak links to the gear case problems, I have a few more things in the works to help with the problem.
