    MTC manual joint, any experience?

    Anyone have experience with the newer style 89+ joints from MTC? Good quality, works as it should?

    I have no idea what you are talking about.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Yes the MTC shift rod joint. I have also read about people having issues with the pre 89 style because of misaligned holes for the pin. There really isn't any feedback on the 89+ joints.

          Id just be safe and order from a dealer, think like a 20$ price difference but might be worth it if its a hassle.

            I can report the MTC joint is a piece of crap. The holes weren't aligned. The holes were to small and did not allow the pin to slide in, and the top cylinder part was welded slightly off axis with the base.

            Got one from the dealer, and all is well.
