I definitely see the benefit over my stock setup with it. A lot less moving parts - very rigid. You just have to make sure you get the bracket that connects to the tranny input shaft on at the correct angle so that your rod doesn't bind when shifting. A little tinkering and you'll get it.

I hoped that this would solve my loose column shifter problems - and it did to an extent - but my column shifter must be worn inside the column itself. I line up on park now - but nowhere else. My reverse lights come on somewhere between P and N. Perhaps a new column would resolve all of this.

The linkage is very nice though. Just take your time mocking up.
You will have to do a slight "S" bend in it for our trucks (thinking that the 700R4 input is somewhat close to the TH350) and cut a few inches off.

I can try and snap a few pics this evening if you'd like.
i would like to see a few pics of it installed
