Default Anyone using a differ shift **** on their IS350/250?

Know of any alternate ones that will fit? Just seems to sit a tad too high for my liking. Wouldn't bother me as much if the shaft it screws to wasn't so tall. Ideas and/or pics would be great!

hopefully the 250 manual can withstand the torque increase on a supercharger, theres no manual on the 350 because toyota doesnt have a modern tranny to handle the power from it

I think that's hardly the case, There are people with the is 300 making upawrds of 400 hp with no problems. I doubt lexus engineers would'nt be able to design such a trans, worst case scenario they could have used the old tranny. I just think our trans can handle more power with no problems! Hey my 10 yr old mitsu with 450 hp had no problems with a stock trans, so i doubt that a brand like lexus would run into such problems.

lol i'm changing my seat to bride zeta III
so even i have vantilated seat = nothing
the center ac vent is still work, all i need just a OEM braket, they didnt seal it up
plug and play, all other vent still work good
the reason i didnt remove the CD input and mount it there
cuz the angle there is bad, no one can see it, my audio shop will help me remove the CD diplay later and mount the DVD there when the next ICE upgrade comes up

sorry just to clarify im talking about the 6 speed manual. they came base with no packages on them.. a few came in with luxury packages or wutever but they were very very rare. some special ordered them the way they wanted.
