I'd like to replace the shift boot for aesthetics, not more precise shifting. Nothing replaces good technique.

OT but I do find that the Mugen "dildo" shifter gives me a better feel for what gear I'm in. It's easier to gauge the position and angle of the shift lever.

It's nice. I like it
Extension of the shift stick would help shifting significantly too

Oh my god. If you make this into an actual "for sale" product I will without a doubt buy one. In fact if you begin to make products like this slotted shift gate for other cars I will personally buy multiple gates. I'e been searching everywhere through and through for this exact product. Please do me a favor and market this product, I must have it.

We'll know that when we have the prototype developed, so right now we're just trying to determine interest.

Let us know what you think.
