Could a guy use this to make shifter linkage? We run a falcon and the regular falcon length for the shifter doesn't match so we are going to fab up our own.

I think that would be a little on the small side and bend, especially as hard as the falcon is to get into gear sometimes.

Here's what I use:

I use these to attach to rod ends that come out the back of the transmission:

I used some all-thread to connect the yoke to the shift rod.

Here is what I have...2 pieces of aluminum flat stock bolted together with a hole drilled in each end one to mount to the trans and one to the shifter and bent as needed to get from the shifter to the trans. Works great and is cheap and easy.

i would just use all-thread if you you are going to use the clevis. Little heavier but alot cheaper and more simple
