After looking at the seller's feedback, I have a sudden urge to take shower (Ack! Can't get clean!).

All kidding aside, I'd keep on looking rather than buy from someone with 6.5% negative feedback.

this is the one i'm gonna git. the big issue about this shifter, however, is that it sits too high up. there was a post on TN (Toyotanation.com) of a member who actually was able to cut the pipe to let the shifter sit lower, which is what i'm gonna do as well.

For those who have changed the knob, did you find it hard to do?

it should be easy. removal is a snap with just 2 screws holding the knob to the shift rod, and retainter clips holding in the shift surround plastic plate.

if you're gonna cut the shift rod though, it might take a while. i might suggest a dremel.

razo is cool, mine has a OD button on the top, you push the knob down to shift. just gets hot during summer, but its comfy.
