                          Looks great! Gald to see someone else making these at a better price.

                          Question: Have you considered filling the hollow tube with lead? When I had mine shortened for a m30 swap, the guy melted some lead into the stock unit - made a much nicer "feel" - and not as much vibration.

                          I hear you can buy lead wheel weights from a tire shop for not much at all. (There is a guy filling his sailboat keel full of re-claimed, melted down wheel weights)

                            Thanks for the kind words.

                            I worked closely with my machinist to come up with this design to not drastically change the geometry or shifting dynamic.

                            By making it heavy, notchyness and tightness would not have been accomplished. It would just way down on the shifter and the shift rod joint. You might "feel" a difference, but making it only slightly heavier than stock was the best design.

                            As far us reducing vibrations, replacing the foam insert of the shifter rod and replacing the carrier joint in conjunction to the transmission and engine mounts are the best options.

                            Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.

                            p.s. Lead weights are getting phased out and some places dont have them anymore.

                                Just another sneak-peek.

                                Didn't want to send out the orders one at a time, putting the final touches to mail all your orders concurrently.
