[DeTomaso] poo and Flaming River u-joints

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Ken and Steve,


              I, too, replaced the shifter rod links with the Flaming 
River shiny and smoothly articulating u-joints.   I replaced all of the 
stock shifter u-joints from front to back.   I expected a significant 
change after observing how stiff the stocks units moved (or failed to 
move) when removed from the shifter rod linkage.

              I found no improvement.   Driving my two Panteras, I still 
cannot detect any improvement with the much nicer Flaming River u-joints 
compared to the Pantera with the stock shifter linkage.

             My consumer report for the day.


                             Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
