If it is, then TWM full shifter kit with an extender and a metal shifter knob . just as fancy or racy for a lot less. Probably just as good.
i have one of these,this could not be any further from the truth,its not just a case of moving everything up,this is totally redesigned and the fulcrum point is moved,super smooth operation and very light

i dont know how much you see , but here is the full TWM cage with extender when i drive it.


some pics without extender, early pics, sadly i dont have a picture with an extension and better quality or made, but here it is. Since it is still cable driven the TWM can be raise very easily too ( which we did a little bit only), I am all for the weight saving , but for $900 vs TWM i am not sure its really worth it. BUT def, the TWM look much less. I am just saying if this is for racing purpose only then i dont think its worth the price. That is all.

I've never felt there was an issues with the OEM shifter setup and simple spacers can help. Don't get me wrong, this is a cool idea and does help with ergonomics. However, if I was to buy shifter base; I would rather spend the 900 dollars on an Ikeya shifter. Sequential shifter will give you that real race car feel.

i know two or three guys who actually used the Ikeya and all feedback was very very negative. Actually all of them got rid of it for dirt cheap price. I think they issue was a hard set up, and very fast needed a very painful re adjustments. Why i dont know. Maybe the cable driven set up. But they do not kept them long. in fact one guy actually end of the test weekend already took it out of the car.
So i am not sure that is also a good alternatives.

That's not good. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it just doesn't work well with synchro driven application.

i dont really know, only thing i know about this (because i was considering to buy one) is stay a way from it. And they said we had it and we got rid of it as soon as we had an opportunity.
Also they said the set up is a nightmare and wont stay like that even for one practice day. Lock outs etc occurs.
So that is all i know.
