 Well, you guys are getting into most, or all, the issues I went through a few years ago.  For the record, I found the most wear and thus contributing to sloppy shifting, was associated with:

1 - Elongation and wear in the aluminum Bracket holes which captures the long shaft, 97568.  This allows the entire Bracket assy to move around.

2 - Hourglass shaped wear in the holes that accept the 0.235 diameter hardened pins.

3 - Of course, the degradation of the soft bushings in the Linkage-Gearshift

When I did my re-design and upgrade, I documented the changes and made drawings - well I had to make the drawings for machine shop work anyway.  After I completed the work, and saw the significant improvement in shifting, I decided to put the kit together and offer it to the JH community.  Really for those with shifter problems, and no mechanical ability to fix.  Yeah, it's expensive, but as you've seen, it is a lot of work !

There's other stuff that I've fixed at:http://www.jhppg.com/peteskits.htm

Good luck with your cars !
