[DeTomaso] "All metal" Shifter - Improvement?

[Julian Kift]

The reason Dennis sells this as a two-part kit is I believe because (at least on my GT5) the shaft is machined to accept an imperial rod end rather than sourcing the correct diameter metric rod end.

Joe,

Now you’re talking!

Pantera Performance Center sells a replacement bearing and rod that was one of the better upgrades on both my car and Lori’s. Although I suppose one could get away with just the bearing alone, they include a rod with a hardened end.
