It's more than a chunk of aluminum.
It also includes the new shift pivot/arm that changes the pivot point.
IMO it's worth it.
Find a used one somewhere, but be patient. Most who get one don't switch back.

The BD shifter is WAYYY overpriced, that's for sure. Someone needs to make a true shifter, not just a shift lever and spacer. Cars like Mustangs have fully re-engineered shifters with much stronger aluminum bases. Seeing how ours is even worse than a mustang with a plastic base, we really should have a full aftermarket replacement available by now. I would almost be tempted to get some of the mustang places that build their own parts in house try and develop a shifter for the NV5600 including a new base. I'm afraid to shift this thing too hard and rip those little 8mm bolts out of the tranny, or snap the plastic. It's kind of funny....a tranny w/ a cast iron case that weighs nearly 400 lbs, but a pastic shifter housing. DUHHHHH

Some things don't need to be said #2. They are just a given....
Wap, I just remember Tomeygun saying that he had the shifter done and ready to sell but that it wouldn't work with the G56s that had the shifter with the bend in it. I'm not sure if they even make one with a straight shaft.

#1 thanks for the help
#2 good effort
Ok, just went pm him and he has not been here since 12/20 so maybe I should check another site.
edit for the second time... I found his website and sent him an email, I will start a thread if anything new comes up the G56 guys may want to know.

Well, I've got a B-D and shift it like I hate it sometimes with no wear or problems so far and yeah, I wish it had been cheaper but now that it's in I wouldn't trade it back for the money!
