Default Which shift linkage for TR 3550?

I need to buy a shift linkage for a Tremec 3550. Hurst is good, I know. Which one fits the application for a CSX 4000 or Hi tech?
Thanks, John

The 3550 is shifted internally so there is no external linkage required, just a shift handle.

Really? Thanks for the information. I haven't got the tranny yet so haven't had the opportunity to look at it. I have the shift handle ......

I used the Steeda and love it. Nice short crisp shifts: http://www.wakeperformance.com/produ...oducts_id=957:)

Some of the older 3550s had set screw on the rear shift rod that would back off making the shifting really loose. Tremec later come out with a roll pin designed that fixed this problem. Pro 5.0 makes a good shifter and sells for about $200. It has travel stops and strong centering springs to improved 2-3 shifts. -Bruce

Default Question for Bruce

If the set screw on the shifter cup is becoming losse on the main shift rail, how is this corrected? My shifter is loose side-to-side in all gears and in neutral.

Thanks
