I thought this was going to be a rant, but reconsidered. I like to look at others projects - time to return the favor. Anyhow, I'm putting together a 3.2 with 915 wevo. As a diy'er, I don't have fab capability, so I bought a shift linkage from a well known vendor. I think the product needs improvement. The kit includes front and rear bars, 2 u-joints, and a firewall bearing.
Above is a u-joint from the kit. It is like the joints used in the steering linkage. It is drilled and tapped for a cone screw on one end. Problem is, the screw only engages 1.5 threads before bottoming in the wevo input shaft. Below is a wevo joint I bought to replace it. Using a wevo joint, you'll get 4.5 threads engagement.  |

I have the same shift linkage kit. Any reason we are not using there name?
Only issue I seem to be having is the cone screw at the front goes into a hole not designed for a cone screw. Part where the shifter connects to the rod. It seems to move after engaging 5th or reverse and then I cannot get it into 1st 2nd. I just haven't had time to play with it but I think I need to ditch the cone screw for a regular bolt.
