I can only answer for Dennis Quella's hiem joint solution--it works perfectly and has on my car since I believe the 80's. No issues with anything, including vibration. Shifts are smooth and positive, no more slop like the OE trunnion provided after a few years. I wondered if miles and time would degrade performance due to debris and oxidation, but that hasn't happened.

Seems a solid bushing would not allow any give for normal day to day street driving. ________________________________ From: JOHN NEAL via DeTomaso <detomaso@detomasolist.com> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2025 7:55 AM To: doug351c@gmail.com <doug351c@gmail.com>; detomaso@detomasolist.com <detomaso@detomasolist.com> Subject: [DeTomaso] Re: Shift Linkage Trunion Bushing I swapped this bushing out many years ago with one of the aftermarket ones. I did not like it and put back in the stock one. I found that if you keep in greased the stock one worked just fine for me.

Has anyone had good or bad experiences using this item?
