i have a midshift vanagon and was looking for opinions as what is the best shift linkage to run?? ive seen several out there, and wanna hear from those who have ran it.. the pros, the cons and the best bang for the buck. i like the one 40degreesnorth is using but it looks pricey, and ive seen pics of the one weedle sells but havent seen it on a buggy and cant find it on their website.. thanks for all the help guys

This is where my linkage came from. I think it's a perfectly fine linkage and seems to operate just like it should. The Weddle linkage to me looks far simpler and if I were buying again I'd probably buy it or make one just like it.

Weddle's: http://www.weddleindustries.com/transax ... anagon.php

Thread on this site all about the Weddle linkage and the homemade versions.
