Two questions:

Which method of shifting are you using?

A vertical-cylinder system like this: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/37426

Or a horizontal-cylinder system like this: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/37096

And given that choice, what kind of "support" are you talking about? Supporting the rod? supporting the blind end? supporting the module?
