i don't think it is called watkins anymore. Not sure if they sold out or just changed the company name. Stillen used to sell it as well but not sure if they still do.

I bought a used watkins on here from a fellow orger. All of the sts's are linkage adapters so they are all the same, if you need help with the install PM me i'll get you some pics of how it goes in. I have noticed with the Sts you lose alot of smoothness of the stock shifter, and I felt more of the grinding sensation all throughout the gears, but I could never go back to the stock shifter anymore.

Do the bushings really make that big of a difference?

so i have a concern about a vendor creating a screen name...not posting in the vendor forum...and instead finding every STS thread and bumping it to peddle his goods.
