You can add me to the list of likely customers.
Id like a short throw and the shifter has way too much play, worn bushings I guess.
But I very much want to keep my stock AE shift ****.

Just so people stop PM'ing me, I'll reply in the thread. 
We were hoping to get the shifters out a month ago, but discovered that in some cars they would rattle like hell. 99% of cars were perfect, butthat 1% that have worn shift linkages will rattle louder then the engine. We are currently working on a solution, but it may take some time. I am NOT willing to release a product unless it is perfect

Is this rattle fix going to add to the price of the shifter? I hope you get the problem worked out soon. By the way, you never did say what thread patterns they will be offerered in.
The typical rate of shifter rattle is 1 out of 3, so I'd say 1% for yours is a job well done.
