Shift Linkage Reducer

[Rick Iverson]

Gents;

I have a 0.75” x 0.75” Apex coming off my LD200 shift finger shaft, and 0.50” shift rod. Obviously, I need a 0.75” OD x 0.50” ID x 0.50” +/- collar.

Any help as to a vendor?

Fellas;

Ordered today. Research skills are pathetic, but I should have surmised M-C would have it.

Most obligated, Dave. HNY

Hi Dave,

I am surprised you recommended aluminum. I am about to do a shift linkage rebuild and was going to use 4130 steel thin wall tubing.

Aluminum is fine for a centering collar, but you do need to use something like 4130 for the shafts themselves, both for strength and stiffness. If the collar is not fully surrounded on ID & OD by steel, i.e., it is transferring torque and longitudinal force through the screws and thus subject to wear at those points, you should use steel or something like 2024 aluminum for the spacer bushing.
