I got mine through a group buy organized by someone here. God, I am getting old; I don't remember who set it up or when we actually got our kits. But I think we got them from an outfit called MidWest??? Or maybe that is who makes them and we got them from a reseller? Search "midwest group buy" and you'll probably come up with some good leads....
I like mine. It is a bit of a trade-off though between a shortened throw vs. increased effort, but I wouldn't want to switch back. I like being ale to shift through all the gears without removing my arm from the armrest.

They havn't made any more.

Hence why i say, good luck finding one.

I'm sure somebody will build a setup again someday.

I appreciate the feedback. And if there aren't anymore, I would like to know more about who did the setup and built them, and if there are others out there who would like one. Maybe we could put together another group buy?

Post if'n you're interested and know who built the originals.

Thanks

Group by won't work when they aren't being made anymore.
If/when they do become avaialble for sale again, I'm sure you'll hear about it.

I just got my custom made short throw mounted, but the trans is still on the floor. Can't wait to get the swap done and start driving it...
