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.

Dear Boyd,
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
