Scott,

They claim it has to do with shaft vibration while in a forced, less than optimal position. Best I can describe is that if all pivot/connection points were in perfect unison, you could have a fixed coupling from shifter shaft to shift rod, but the fact is they are always a little off in alignment, and that the factory slop in the standard coupler allows for vibration to be disapated and not transmitted to the trans while in a "forced-position" state. I hope that makes sense.

I have to trust them as I've driven another customer's 86 Targa with a 915 rebuild that shifts just like a G50.
