From reading the instructions, I see that adjustment of the rod ends to get the car to shift properly was a step. From my experience (with a Brandwood cable shifter on a porsche 901 trans) this can take all day to get right, and is hardly an easy process. When you get the 1st-2nd plane working the other planes fail, and each adjustment is just a compromise between each of the shift planes. Maybe with a Toyota trans this is different, but I still have scars on my wrists from doing the adjustments!

What is the old saying "no pain no gain".

It has been my experience that the cheap bandaid fixes are just that. If it takes a little effort to get proper shifting with out a doubt it will be worth it.

By the description and "posted" instructions it does not appear to be difficult but indeed more than five minutes.

As for the cost. Indeed I would like to see it less (would say that about anything) but you do get what you pay for.

The CNC machined parts, rod ends and bearings are not inexpensive to R&D and then produce but counting on this to provide the precision of shifting the lotus deserves.

I am able bodied enough to shift the stock shifter but looking to have the mechanism operate like a Swiss Watch.

Come on........start shipping PLEASE!!!!!
