How did it break? Ive been running MGW since the original beta buy and slammin gears no issues. and I had it on the lowest and shortest throw settings for a long while. Recently went a little longer, im getting older, lol.

It wasn't an issue with the MGW. Their parts have been flawless. I over tightened the nut connecting the linkage to the transmission and it sheared the bolt.

Default Still have old linkage arm?

Was wondering if you have the old linkage arm? I need it for a 3650 I'm working on. Fixing it's no problem, I work as a machinist. Brad

Chris,
Thanks for the pm. If anybody out there has one on a shelf, I could use some measurements. Basically just x-y measurements on the pin center locations, and thickness of the linkage arm. (X=linear distance l to r, Y= linear distance perpendicular to X) Thanks. Brad

I managed to track one down in Georgia though. They measured the part and we compared pictures so they're overnighting it to me. Modern Muscle in Georgia. The woman Tori was very kind and helpful. Hopefully this works, thanks for your responses Danzcool!
Do you remember the name of the place you found this part at, I did the exact same thing you did trying to install a hurst short shifter? Any info you can give me to make tracking one of these down would be much appreciated
