Default 86 LT230s shifter linkage mod
To fix the sloppy shifter linkage, I cut and welded my own using the factory peices. Now its slop free!

Awesome, good job. Is the distance from the peg the same?

Well thats one way to do it.

Does it feel awkward shifting? If it doesn't I might do this myself, I need to do something because the slop is pretty bad in mine right now.

It feels normal. Mine was so sloppy before, it was hard not to mis shift, and hard to find neutral.

I just may do this then. It is either this or the other mod I saw which replaces the linkage with other parts.
