91 900 sifter linkage/ bad design

I just replaced the rubber linkage section on my 900, and it turns out my tranny is fine. I do however have a few thoughts. I had an assistant shift it through the gears as I watched the linkage. There is a lot of stress on that joint....how often do these things tear? Has anybody converted to the earlier style linkage? If I had to pull the motor, I'd be adapting an old 99 linkage to it. For now, I think I'm going to get back under the car, and wrap some large tie wraps around the linkage joint to limit the excessive flex, especially in 5th and reverse. I checked out the other shifter bushing wear points via the townsend sight, and they are OK. Any thoughts? I'm feeling that a few wire ties would allow the joint to still flex, but not tear via hard pushes/pulls on the shifter.
