Very impressed with the TMOD lower shifter box. As far as the shift ****, it's on back order with RPI. I am starting to get the feeling its made in China and the Coronavirus delayed shipment. I am gonna make sure to disinfect everything and wear gloves when I open it lol. Idk just saying though. Never know.

I didn't. It had the bushing on it that the boot connects to. It was metal instead of plastic. One reason I decided not to is that I'm using a Callaway shifter. I had vibration when I ordered the ball but managed to solve it with o-rings on the shaft. I didn't want to risk the vibration starting again. I have the complete factory shifter so if you want me to see how it fits that tomorrow I can. That would be easy since it's not in the car anymore.

I'll probably just keep it in case the vibration come back.

LOL. You obviously haven’t shifted an MGW. The stock shifter is very smooth but vague. Especially when going in to 5th and 7th. I personally couldn’t wait to get rid of the stock shifter. I prefer the notchy feel of a short throw myself.

What year do you own? I have a 2019 Stingray and the stock shifting was bad, at least to me. Yea I could have gotten by with it, but the alignment was not good, 1st was hard to set, 2nd grinding and 4th to 5th was a task as well. Maybe I just got a bad shifter IDK. But the TMOD lower box made a huge improvement in shifting. And this is in a 2019 vette. I was disappointed actually with the stock set up.

Yes height is much lower and i like it. Only thing is it could not be aligned , wanted the shift pattern little right in line with the center console which is right inclined

looks great and do let me know if you can align it with the center console , mine is aligned straight down the car. Shifting feel has improved since its lower in height and feels better

don't think it will align perfectly because the screw. I tried turning the **** a little to align better, but as you screw the final turns it has to go back to original spot.
