The first 20 are $75.00 shipped. You may have seen some threads in the past about a group buy for 20, I've decided to just sell the first 20 for the same price.

So is this now a first come first served, or are those who signed up for the group buy still (somewhat) guaranteed a shifter [granted they pay]?

If its the same throw as the Mazdatrix unit and it ends up not rattling,Ill take one.
Its worth it $$-wise to end the rattle,although Id say its more likely a bushing issue than the actual stick......(and yes I did install new bushings, to no avail.Then again,the stock sticks are rubber dampened inside......hmm.)

ON FIRE!
They are real short shifters, I'll get a few done tonight, I don't have the cores to all 20 yetI'll probably only have 9 or 10 for sale immediately, and few of them will be for s5's.
A few of you will get pm's, you know who you are.
When I get some more tools for the machine I'll be making the rods as well and be done with this core b.s.

Thanks
Joe

Oh and I don't have an SA trans So I really can't make one, if someone will send me a tail shaft and a shifter I can make a pt. Honestly If I had an sa I would take an inch or two out of the middle. I've done a few like that, and never had any complaints.
