Ben,
I am in. What info do you need from me? What is the current cost?
I saw some pricing from posts over a year ago but I didn't read the whole thread to find the current.

Hopefully two weeks!
Often it depends on how busy the machine shop is!

Hi guys!
For the first time... I have a small stock!
They are immediately available
And this might be one of the last batch, I'm moving soon and don't know if I'll be able to continue... I'll still keep some spare parts though!
Ben.

Wanted to say - got one of Ben's shifters in the mail yesterday and installed today. Took about two hours including goofing off with my kid's go kart, cleaning, etc. The Hurst in my 66 Corvette has always been the paradigm of perfect shifting - this is a dang close second. Took the sloppy, wiggly 16 year old feeling and tightened it up, shorter, smoother and what I would expect from a Porsche.
None of the "for the price" caveats. IMHO - buy one - like now. Especially if Ben is considering not making them anymore. Can't wait to drive it more but it has certainly made my car an entirely new experience.

Its been about two years since I bought one. If you are going to stop making them, I'll take another if I still can. PMed

Got it installed, I love it. I am replacing a 9x7 shifter, which has a 15% shorter throw than 9x6 stock shifter. So Ben's short shifter is 30% shorter than 9x6 stock.
The 9x7 shifter is very nice, and in my opinion ben's shifter is the next level. It does have a rifle bolt like feel that the 9x7 shifter doesn't have.
Some folks have indicated that there might be an adjustment period when adapting to a short shifter, but I didn't feel any, after just one day I am totally adjusted and I love it!

I had some adjustment period going from the stock 986 shifter to Ben's, but now could never go back! Steve, what does your "CAM" switch do?

Steve's a movie maker, didn't you know? Check out his clips on YouTube!
Oh, and the FANS switch generates a cheering noise as you drive by!
