That's *exactly* the point I'm trying to make...   "threaded rod into the
end piece"...  doesn't matter whether it's on a tie rod or a shift linkage
piece.   I was trying to say that if the design is good enough for a tie
rod, it's good enough for the shifter linkage.   Maybe because I've just
started using the internet I couldn't express myself as well as someone like
you who obviously is an expert   ;)

(BTW, I've been on this list since late '96, and online in general quite a
bit longer - just in case I wasn't expressing the appropriate amount of
sarcasm in the above paragraph)

"Urge to kill"?   Due to an email?    *snicker*
