might look somewhere like JEGS and just use some made for race car application, make your own rod.Buy your heim joints with opposing threads and internally threaded rod and have an easy adjust turnbuckle style linkage.

Stay away from the made in China Heims as they are not always consistent. Although a shift linkage doesn't take a lot of strain, so you could just shop for the cheapest you could find and risk it.

Chrome-Moly are the best you can buy for vibration and will take a beating. Just hang on when you pay for they.

I find a lot of take off linkages at the local swap meets. I have six take offs I picked up for $1.00 each. Nothing wrong with them. If I break one now, I'm covered.
As far as buying new ones, most hot rod shops carry them.
Dealership wants $20 for the whole linkage.

I recently ordered one to replace my broken one from Dennis Kirk.
They were hard to look up in their online catalog. I found them in last years printed catalog.
