i hear you i was just making sure not to mislead anybody on this thread. i at this point have no clear idea how much this shifter is going to cost . i still have several molded parts that are not even done yet. i cannot quote a price for a group buy or even speculate yet what cost is going to be. also, this is going to be a great shifter but it also may not be for EVERYBODY out there so i do not want anyone that has already bought a quality shifter to feel as though mine is going to just blow it out of the water and make theirs a piece of junk. not gonna happen. we are alte in the game and as a result have lost alot of potential sales. but i think we will be more than satisfied with the volume that we sell.
as soon as i get a good idea i will surely post it and we can get a list going.
regards

Will the new shifter cause "disfigurement" of the shift boot. I know on the SN95 that it did, and looking at your videos, it seems to be a little "conformed" to the shifter.
The SN95 probably wouldn't have been as bad for me, except for the fact that I originally had a tri-ax, so the shifter had already molded itself to the angle of that shifter.

due to the fact that our adjustable handle angled back so far it did put kind of a hump on the older model but i actually changed the center shaft middle of last year when we came out with the new orange handle which lowered the backside making the hump almost non existent. on this new shifter i do not have the final height on the shifter in the prototype which will actually be about a 1/2" higher. this is why it crumples the boot a little.

i DEFINITELY prefer my own gripper **** over the "bald head phalic" factory **** but in reality i needed to make sure this design works seamlessly with the stock look and setup since alot of people are very particular about keeping it stock looking . i will be putting either a gripper or our NEW design secret **** on soon

My 05 is just screamin to get rid of the Saleen shift block. Count me in on this as well. I can just see this shifter with the gripper **** on it....awesome!!
I know it was asked earlier, and I assume so, but it does have stops, correct??
Thanks George,
Mike

i will be puuting stops in this shifter but i have to say i was VERY reluctant to do so. the internal stops in the tremec 3650 are very strong and the external stops are really just looking for trouble. BUT, knowing that some cusotmers will not buy without them will make it a neccessary feature.

Thanks for the response. Stops would not be a deal breaker for me, but could you expand on this a bit? Understood about the internal stops, but why are the externals looking for trouble?
Thx again,
Mike

external stops are exactly what they are EXTERNAL. they can be adjusted wrong or simply prone to vibrate loose over time. we have talked with the Tremec engineers for hours over this issue. they have told us that they see MANY more issues with the 3650 and T56 trannies being damaged due to improperly set external stops. what happens is the shifter does not go fully into gear due to it hitting the stop. then under full throttle it pops of of gear while spinning very fast. BOOMM!!! there go the ends of your gear teeth. this is called an UNDERSHIFT situation and according to tremec occurs MUCH more frequently than an overshift which bends forks.
if it were my car i would NOT put them in.
