make your own, it's very simple.

here's a copy of what i did back in 04 from *cough* another mr2 forum.

i pulled the shifter knuckle bit out and traced the casing's shape onto some 3mm aluminium sheet. the knuckle needs a plate with a hole the size of the plastic doobie that the shift rod ball swivels in to stop it pulling out.
traced it out and marked the holes, drilled the holes. cut it out with the ol jigsaw (man i cant wait to buy an airsaw). gave it a little sand on the edges and bolted it up. now the kit i have seen used thick plate to space the shifter down, i couldnt be stuffed trying to cut the thick stuff and just spaced it with washers.
