[DeTomaso] "All metal" Shifter - Improvement?

[L GRAY]

    This is the best upgrade you can do to greatly improve your ZF shifting. 
    FYI, there is a “Metric” rod end assembly available that requires no mods to your long shift shaft. It’s a true plug & play item.  I’ve been using these specifically for years. 
   Gr.-4 car “ 2823 had one in it when it was acquired. Probably from day one.
