I broke the shifter on my t19, brute strength is what I call it
. I drifted through a red light and got pulled over by a cop. I welded a sleeve, just a piece of box that I had to tap onto and weld to the lower half of the shaft, and then I welded a larger piece of box to the upper part of the shaft. it slides right into place and a nut welded to the box allows a holding bolt to keep it all together. Drove it for years without a problem and it will never break.
