I was at Terry Haine's place 2 weeks ago, and got to see the focus vs contour shifter towers and linkages up close. The focus unit is definatly built better, probably due to warranty repairs and the little ball part falling into the tranny. And the linkages with the end pieces are way better as well. I'm not sure if this is a do-it-in-the-car mod, or a do-it-when-you-pull-the-engine mod. I'm gonna call Terry about some 3.o stuff, and I'll ask him.
