Very compelling, Josh. Any plans for a delrin knob? I can't stand metal shift knobs with the temperature swings.

Looks good. Also looks like we can use that knob on a TWM. If so you could make a killing selling different knobs that are not a bazillion dollars

That depends a lot on the height that you mount the ball at. I designed the shifter to be taller than other short throw shifters on the market for better ergonomics. If my numbers are right it will be between 29% and 38% depending on shifter ball height. I will measure in the car just to be sure though.

TWM makes a bunch of adapters for their shift knobs. They may have one to convert their ball to ours but our ball will not work with their shifter.

Not sure just yet. Depends on a lot of things. Could be about $100 off if we get a ton of people involved.

I am just waiting on our cost for a few different shift knobs and then I will start a sale. We will have a solid stainless knob, a solid black delrin knob, and a stainless core/delrin outer know.

Ok guys I have final pricing and a time line. I would like to run a pre-sale for 1-2 weeks and then have the shifters shipped out 2 weeks after that.

The shifter will come with your choice of shift knob and you can choose to add shifter base bushings if you want.

These prices are good for up to 75 people. I don't think we will get more but if we do the pricing will be better.

Shifter with stainless ball $199.99

Shifter with black delrin ball $204.99

Shifter with hybrid delrin/stainless ball $249.99

You can add base bushings to a shifter order for $9.99

I would like to start a list to see how many people are interested in buying.

I have a handful of them in a few customers cars for testing. Been in them for about a month now. Not too many people seemed interested so I haven't played with these in a little while.
