the shifter **** in my car has worn from normal use. I asked the dealer how much for a new one, "thinking it be around $150.00" the dealer here in annapolis Md. said it's $428.00!!!! at that price it should be more durable. Has anyone else had the same problem?

 

I can get you a oem lexus wod/leather shift **** for $200.
If interested email me @ jonp308@aol.com

 

A shift **** costs $200? Wow.

 

the shift **** in my ES was worn out my dealer repalce it under warrenty.. they also repalce worn seat cover under warrenty. may be you should go to diffent dealer. good luck

 

have you checked with Steve @ carson toyota yet??? he can beat almost any price if he isn't already lower than everyone else on any lexus/toyota/trd part

I think I saw somewhere around $125 for a shifter ****, but I don't know if it was real wood or if it was oem or what

his name on here is SUPRATRD....his contacts are somewhere over here, I will try to find them

 

How about a blue glow shift ****? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=598820284

It is a lot cheaper.

Or you can get some quality shift **** made by MoMo and it is still cheaper than $400 stock one.

 

I have a Momo wood shifter on now, a lot cheaper than a Lexus one! And completely smooth in hand. Will post pictures soon.

 

check EBAY.... i always see OEM shift ***** on there.. take a look sometimes... it might come around

mayur

 

Momo makes some great shift *****.

I wasn't about to pay $2-3 bills for a 3" **** either. After complaining to Lexus, their leather specialist re-dyed the **** and brought it back to life for free. Don't even notice that it was once rubbed up.

 

If your car is under warranty, lexus SHOULD replace or fix it for free, its a fault on Lexus....it happens to almost every Lexus with that kind of ****!

 

This TRD shift **** is an alternative for under $85.00!

Asked my dealer for a new one yesterday, sight unseen (they have my VIN on file so they know the color wood/leather), they are shipping it to me free of charge, should arrive day after XMas. That, my friends is Lexus service !!!

 

That's great!
