I've seen a similar kit sold by another company, but I'm not sure the rod-end setup will solve the inherent problems with the linkage on the a2's. There are two places where almost all of the problems exist- the main shaft bushing, and the "golf ball" part of the linkage. To a lesser degree, the bushings on the "golf ball" shaft can cause problems too. If you could find a way to eliminiate that piece I think you would get rid of a lot of the problems. I'm sure the spherical bearings will give you a bit more of a solid feel to the shifting without all those plastic bits, but without fixing the other areas I'm not sure how much it would help. How much are you going to be selling the kits for? I forget who the other company was, but the kits were around $400!!!! _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
