Do you have any aircraft dismantlers, refurb businesses near you,

we used to use several helicopter parts on the race cars, where I bought

50% of my Dzus fasteners.

                             Yes, I am familiar with them as well as the
   PPC price of $300 for a set for the shift linkage.   I want to see if
   there is a less expensive way to improve the OEM part before I take the
   plunge for the Flaming River U joint jewelry.

   Charles,

   There is a company that makes a replacement linkage that can be used
   for the shifter and the steering column.

   There name is flaming river. Dennis Quella sells there stuff. It is
   beautiful.well made and has roller bearings in the U joints and I
   believe the are available is SS steel.

   Here is a link.[1]http://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products

      Dear Forum,
                                 After inspecting my shift linkage U
   joints,
      I found them surprisingly stiff.    Treatment with various
   lubricants
      failed to change things.  I recently examined another set of U
   joints
      and found the same condition.
                                 Is it possible to dis-assemble the U
   joints
      for more effective lubrication -or for machine shop
   modification---in
      order to eliminate the built in stiffness and resistance of the
   factory
      U joints?    I would think that it would improve the function of the
      shift linkage.
                                           Warmest regards, Chuck  Engles
