I had the MR2 rear cable installed. I didn't like all the wiggle and how imprecise it was. So, for $110 I bought a shifter from ebay. Billet Acura shifter looks like a K-tuned copy. I was impressed with the quality. I sliced it thinner. I then made a direction change linkage by copying other smart people here.
I love having the shifter located near the steering wheel.
