I want one! Sharif already knows me, I have been haggling him to post this ever since I got back from zdayz. It is amazing guys, I WANT ONE whether you guys do a short run of these or not.

Clint, I will end up paying you to custom make me one if there isnt enough interest generated by this thread. I have got to have this ****.

wow, sounds pretty cool!

one other question (shows how little i know about my car) -- is this independent of the shifter (the actual part that goes to the tranny)? I.e. if I want to purchase the 350evo short throw shifter, can i put this on top of it, or does the 350evo unit come with the part that your hand grabs?

thanks again!

The shift **** will work with any short shift. Same threads and pitch.

Looks like there is good interest.....

We need about 15 orders to make this happen.....

Sign up here...and I will add this item to the website for pre-ordering. CC's wont be charged until the product is ready to ship. Final price will be $99 shipped.

Yes, this is just only the ****. The shifter is an entirely different part.

You might want to try this **** by itself first. Chances are you'll find a short-shifter unecessary ... as it's reduced length already gives the sensation of a 'reduced throw' shifter. Should you find yourself eager for more, then add the short-shifter such as the 350EVO.

Product has been added to the website..all set for orders. If we don't reach the minimum production run, than nobody's card will be charge. And as mentioned, we wont be running the CC's until the product is ready to ship. Based on feedback, looks like we'll likely have enough to proceed.

As long as we get the minimum, I will probably order a few extra for inventory. But its too cost prohibitive for Clint to make a run for just 2 or 3 *****. I'll do what I can for ya, but hopefully you can just order one now.

Thanks!
