Not a misprint. The size of the ball is not machined to 0.500" or ½".
I think where some people started that misinformation (-besides reading it in Fordbarn and then telling it to others.
) is that someone likely said file your shifter forks to straighten them up, and then just make the ball oversize to something such as ½ inch to compensate. Before long the shifting becomes difficult as it passes thru the neutral position due to the oversized ball.
