And nobody stirs the pot like you. LOL. My opinion is to stick with manual linkage. It will never leak. Plus, it is about as basic and simple as you will get.
And goes at least 100,000 miles in my case with no maintenance other than periodic freeplay adjustments. If you get creative, I got mine down to a couple of minutes even with that big old HOT 3" TTI pipe right there.
I was in a big city once, in traffic, and needed to reset it right now! I pulled over, mounted the curb, took off my clean shirt, and scooched my big chest in there, and a couple of minutes later we were gone.Yeah I run my freeplay on the ragged edge close to zero. But that's the benefit of having an easy to adjust mechanism.
I can shift like lightning......in my head anyway,lol.
