That's retail price. Phil got it for us for $180 or so IIRC. Still a lot, but eh...it's 5-spd, in the leather of your choice, and illuminated, w/ a rotary design on the top!

It is the magnum titatium. I love the weight of it, and it is very solid feeling. My tranny is newly rebuilt and tight, and along with the short shifter I find it much easier to shift aggressively and error-free with this ****.

I had a mazdaspeed leather **** and now have a momo one. Compared to the stock shift **** its beefer and little more comfy. I liked it, but my short shifter stripped the plastic threads out of the inside of it when I installed and removed it like 5 times in a row. So much for that. I now have a Momo shift **** and personaly like it more, both astheticly and feel. Its a ball style shift **** though, and it seems thats not what you're aiming for, so I wont go into detail.

I went from the stock **** to 2 different MOMO *****. Both look better aesthically but they are very light and I prefer the feel of a weighted ****.
