ZF5 short shift kit location?

I am taking my zf5 into the transmission shop to have it rebuilt. After having driven it for a while I became interested in the short shift kit that I had read about online. However, $300 seemed a bit excessive. I've looked around and it looks like only Midwest transmissions is selling the kit. I was wondering if anyone on the forum here has the name of a different maker for the service/kit?
Thanks.

To my knowledge the midwest shifter is the only one on the market.
I to would like to get one, but I agree its pretty pricey.

I think I paid less last year, I can check my notes and invoice if you want me to do so.

Definitely worth the cash outlay. I have a spare stub here if you need to borrow so you have no downtime.

The trans will be in the shop for a couple of days being rebuilt, so I won't need a stub. Thanks. What is the downtime with Midwest?

EDIT - paid $287.67

I guess it is $300 with freight.

Midwest has the short shifters in stock, they just do not ship without yours in first. They told me they never received cores back.
