Ok, I finally got a replacement adapter from ****************************************. I had to take out all of the threaded screws for the threaded part of the OEM shifter cable to fit. I also took a machined bolt with a slightly smaller diameter and "reamed" out the inside to get rid of the burrs. Who would think that the hole was so closely machined to leave no tolerance. Anyway it's installed. Does it improve the performance, no. I guess only enhances the reliability of the linkage. Anyway, I hope my dealings will educate the readers.

I will thanks. Hopefully I can get to that point when they send me another piece. The unit now will not accept the threaded part of the cable. I may have a part that is just a bit too tight in tolerance. I had the same type of clearance problem with one of the nylon(?) bushings that came with the shift kit. I had to replace one of the washers with a thinner one in order to get the snap ring to close correctly down on the bushing. Overall I'm basically happy with the results.
