I'm not sure which one you're on aboutto be honest, but if you get mine and a gsf kit (inc the 2 plastic rods) you'll have replaced everything perishable between the box and the stick.

think i know the bit hes on about, the linkage rod that goes from the gear box to the gear stick, the ends are made of yellow plastic/nylon and snap, is that the part you mean

I don't think a semi will give the same results
