Thanks you guys. This is really good advice. The originals are probably $200, while the Flaming River units are $68 and much more functional (needle bearings). For a few bucks more, they sell a polished unit. It might make sense to get one of the polished units for the ZF connection. I spoke with Dennis at Castle Rock. What a nice guy. I think he resells the FR1761. He said they work really well, especially in conjunction with the special trunnion (spherical bearing) and shift rod combination that he offers.
