Well I just heard from TCI this shifter is delayed again. Now it is expected April 1. Sounds like B&M all over again... Now I'm wondering when and if it will ever come out. I know it's not fair since the current date is only 4 months from the original date but after watching B&M go 1.5yrs or whatever and still not releasing anything it leaves me wondering. -Joe

I doubt it. I don't get why these companies qoute these bogus release dates to begin with. When they do not have a product that is even close to retail release.

did we ever figure out where the O/D is at...it appears there is a small light with the O/D on it...maybe an indicator but not a button.

Hey Sub, Is B&M still working on theirs, or is it "dead" like someone posted on another thread?

I sure hope these fit the 2010 models also. My car has just pasted 3 years old and I have been reading about these shifters for the whole time I have owned this car. Sorry to Subzero and everyone but I felt the need to vent!!
