^ conversion shift rod made with a steering universal joint, Who has done it and how well does it work? Options

I used to sell universal joints to THOMAS before he defected back to Germany which he used to made side shift trans rear conversion rods. I wonder who has done this and is there a noticeable improvement in shift feel?
I see the $200 shift couplers Pelican sells for 911's that are made with a similar principle.

Anyone use one of the above couplers and have an opinion to offer?

Tangerine Racing makes a linkage kit that uses what appear to be steering universal joints as well as dual bushings at the rear shift console.

JWest Engineering used to offer a linkage kit that included steering universal joints as well. I think that kit is discontinued.

I like the shift linkage that Brant has put together. Very neat. I need to learn to weld. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Universal joints, I think similar to the ones Brant used, can be found at Pegasus Racing.
