How does it shift? Looks like a good idea and a little easier than trying to find the ball and socket thing. I like it. Let us know how it does and someday I may copy it.

What did you use for the long bushing? Is it a steering shaft bushing?

Does the pin on the lever slide in the heim joint?

yes. I used 7/16 heim and tured a "spud" from 1" round bar the 7/16 demesion is undersized to slip through the ball i milled 2 flat and cut a step in it to fit the trans peice an get most weld surface area.
