Thanks, I am considering one for my 88.

I have a WEVO in my '87 w/ center console and a JWest in my '89 without center console. The JWest unit is lower profile, so fits under the shift boot better, doesn't contact the brake release button or move the console fore / aft during operation. As a result, I am going to swap the two shifters such that I use the JWest in my '87 with center console to remedy the fore / aft interference issue.

The JWest G50 shifter is currently out of production, but I spoke with them at Pelican's open house and they're amenable to producing an updated version if there's enough interest. I expressed my interest. If you're interested, please reach out to them directly to let them know...

Also, on the G50 shifter housing reinstallation, there is a 5mm adjustment spec between the piece that bolts to the selector rod and the trailing inner edge of the cast housing. See Kevin's response, post #2, here...

This 5mm spec may not apply to aftermarket shift lever assemblies. Regardless, most Pelicans don't seem aware that there's an actual spec. Instead, they opt to just try and reinstall the housing as close to it's "before" position as possible.

From Kevin's above linked response...

Clever solution!

Thanks.
No changes in how it shifts, feels great rowing through the gears.
I was a little nervous cutting up a brand new short throw kit but took my time and everything turned out great. It actually was a fun afternoon project and I was determined to make it work.
