re: K-Tuned
K-tuned is making a bespoke shifter for Lotus both Toyota and K-swapped. They bought a stock one on this forum and are working on it. I will go by the shop and see where they are. they are 5mins from the shop where I keep my Lotus and 20 mins from my house...
Look at their Honda shifter. It is not just a replacement lever (stick) and cables. It the whole mechanism! It is a work of art! I was going to buy one and adapt to my K20-powered Exige... alas the stock Honda tranny would not hold 700hp.... (It held it for a couple of track days and tuning runs, just so that I started to think that it would!!! and broke at the beginning of the season!!! What a POS stock FWD trannys are!!!... I digress.) I bought a Quife Sequential, so do not need a fancy H-gate, anymore.
My opinions, only. K-tuned guys are close to me. Helped me with misc. Honda swap parts, that would have been a PITA to improvise... I was really eyeing their Honda shifter for a looong time....
Nothing wrong with B&M and better cables. It is what it is , a different lever (more leverage, shorter throws, more stress on stock mechanism...) I think, it is the mechanism that is a little weak from Lotus....
You can check Honda shifter pricing. Would give you a ballpark for Lotus. Again, my opinion.....
Cheers,

Based on the price of B&M, k-tuned is a great deal.
