No manual options at this time. I think you can get just the splined shafts from Summit Racing in the correct manual length. You could then swap over the ends, if you were so inclined. They are swagged in place, not welded so removal would be possible. I haven't tried it yet so just speculation.

For the dictionary definition of, “triggered” (are people still using that word? I guess old people on the internet still are?), see Magfag’s posts here: https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...l#post15660271
“Mike” what? Only the coward can say.

It's just a straight shaft with U Joints on it.
It's not heavily loaded.
It IS an important piece, but i wouldn't hesitate to make my own when I need to.
BMW E36 has aluminum U joints in theirs, splined on both ends. I'll bet every ZF rack has the same splines...

The bearings are available separately,. Getting the joints apart without damaging the yokes requires some careful work. For situations where you have a manual rack, but no intermediate shaft, I'd have a custom shaft to be fitted to your yokes. I was going to go that route until I happened across the correct shaft for sale on E-Bay.

you would think, but remember for most of the 20th century US equipment and products dominated the world of manufacturing.
a lot of stuff is spec'd in inches and just converted "approximately" to metric for the ROW to understand.
AC fittings, all types of rubber hose, timing belts are all SAE/inch.
hell, i have an original VOLVO 740 radiator in my garage and the trans cooler fittings are 1/2"-20 UNF.
but the 740 turbo's original engine oil cooler uses 1/2" british pipe fittings...
