You guys are all insane. That shifter is 888.00 selling discounted for:
Sale Price: $669.00

Good luck with that!

Wow, I was eagerly awaiting this product, thinking at about $300 max I would be interested. But, $669 on sale?!!? TCI can keep their shifter as I certainly will not be buying at that kind of price!

I made dozens of passes at our local dragstrip last summer and never once did I miss a shift or get hung up between gears, and I manually shift my 5R55S every pass to get higher shift rpm's.

Come on TCI, price this thing around $300 and you'll get some sales. Otherwise, don't be surprised if your new toy is a failure in the marketplace.

The alternative is that I'll keep the stock shifter before I'll pay stupid money for their product. At about $300-$350, I can justify it in my mind. But, $669 (or worse, the regular price of $888!) is way too much for a mod that adds absolutely no performance.

I don't even like it that much. I might like it more if it didn't have the pull ring. I really wish Ford had given us an auto shifter that wasn't that hard to mod.

I love the shifter and REALLY wanted to get it. I was all set when I heard the street price should be around $350. Then I heard it was going to be closer to $500 and figured I may not get it, that is too much but at $669 on sale! Forget it! -Joe

That has to be the absolute worst value for money mod you can get your auto GT. Just practice with the stock shifter until you stop skipping gears, its quite simple really. Maybe if no one buys this item, they might decide to price it closer to the $150 manufacturing price. Thieving arseholes!!!

Better tell LMP Performance... starting to wonder if $888.88 is a "default" price value that they put on products when they don't know what the price is

427 is still a little much in my opinion. I probably won't get it for that amount.
