WP, how long did the ones you bought from ACE last? I just fixed my linkage with the ACE heim joints not too long ago as they were the only place I found locally that carried that size. Thanks.

Bought mine from eBay for about $10 delivered and installed them on the stock shift rod. I don't care for the "heavy" thick shift rods. Mine went on 20k miles ago and still tight and working well. They do make for a smoother and more durable shift.

These might be worth checking out. They are blowing them out pretty cheap.
