So much easier and smarter than what TVM is doing. Wondering if it takes more effort to engage the gears. Guess we'll have to wait for a test drive. and... I want one.

Yes.

No picture of the product outside of the car? Anyone?

By the way, now I really can't believe this is $135. What a ripoff.

Oh wow!...so you don't even have to take off any of the shifter/interior parts to do it.
How were the instructions for it? Can't wait to hear some feedback, once you get to drive it.

So echo_hrs, its basically a spacer for the linkage? Moving it up makes the throw shorter?

Why is it a ripoff? If it works, it works. What's the difference if it is a little chunk of aluminum or a whole stick shift assembly, if it accomplishes the same thing? Now I agree, it may cost more for TVM to produce their assembly but how much? No matter what kit we're talking about, it probably doesn't cost more than five to ten dollars for these guys to manufacture. Either way, we're getting jacked on the price. I just want a product that is easy to install and that works well. Of course I would also like to pay less money. I mean c'mon, I do not want to pay $130 for a chunk of Aluminum. Who does? But I will knowingly allow myself to be ripped off if I have no other options and I really want something. In this case, I'll take one chunk of aluminum please, no vise-wrangling required, shift-throw reduced 30%!!

What if it's patented? It is Toyota.

If you take offense to anything said on a car forum, its your own fault. I'm just stating my opinion... and I know why you bought it. You're mister TRD.

+1 from me!

At least, the money that I gave for the TWM shifter bought me a package with lots of stuff.

Looks good!

Now I'm wondering if I should follow echo_hrs' lead and jump on the bandwagon.
