Are the ends of the shift linkage on all the XB models the the same size and thread count? I think the threads are 10-32, can anyone verify? I do know one is a left hand thread. Thanks.

Yep they are 10-32
One left hand and the other right hand thread

You can pick up the heim joints/rod ends from Mc-Master and save a couple bucks over the dealer

10-32 right hand thread lock nuts are super cheap
Left hand thread ones are freakn expensive.


I just rebuild my linkage since at one point I put to much lock tight on a rod end and there was NOO getting it apart and it snapped
