Shifting Issues

[Wild Bill]

My linkage went out at the transmission when it went out I had third and fourth gears, lifted the car and saw easily that it had detached, I looked at the cup connection and it was chipped and worn. I have been researching this issue and have heard that Porsche no longer supplies 1997 linkage, they have a replacement linkage, I also heard that you have to get new cables I think because the ball and cups are differn't sizes than the original. If anyone knows anything about this issue please let me know. I ordered a short shifter and put it in now I need to fix the linkage.
