   I may be interested; I've kinda been waiting for someone to try it out
first though. ;-) I think Chuck Robbins (who has the V6 version) said
that it didn't eliminate the choppy shifting, and that's mainly what I'd
like to get rid of. If this shifter just shortens the throw, I've already
done that for a tenth of the price...
