Thanks guys. Can you only buy Gene Berg shifters from Gene Berg, or are there other companies that sell them too? Wondering if they'd be a bit cheaper buying them from a dealer compared to buying directly from the manufacturer (despite the fact that Gene Berg's website shows an MSRP price and the selling price).
Edit: Just called around to a few places. It seems it's best/easiest/cheapest to order directly from Gene Berg.

Just ordered the Gene Berg 6714 with "off road" package and polished handle. The off road package was an extra $30 and they upgrade to the polished handle for free with the off road package if you want it.
There's a picture of the 6714 on this page:

It's not a trigger shifter, but I'm more interested in great shifting than the trigger I guess. I'll let you guys know how it works out. Can't wait to get it!

| That is cool. Pretty expensive piece of hardware. Did Hot VW's review it, or was it just an advertisement for it? |

If you put a reduced throw shifter in a car with worn bushings it will only exaggerate the problem.

Well, I got my Gene Berg shifter the other day and I installed it right away. All I can say is, "WOW! It is the ShiizBAH!!" I was hesitant to spend that kind of money on a shifter, but I'm glad I did. It's really well worth the cost!
