Better shift tube replacement

This is the second shift tube I’ve broken in 3 years. Is there a better quality replacement part out there than just the local auto parts shop? They seem to all be cast and cheap feeling.

1994 model

I wish someone would make a billet version. I’d gladly pay the extra $$.

This exactly. The difference between Motorcraft and Off shore junk is night and day. Spend the money for OEM or shell out more in the long run. Went through this already with my '95, and 4R70W.
