Has Anyone Tried This Shifter? Seems Fishy

Like I said the Mr. Gasket is low budget but the price of auto shifters are crazy high.I thought a B&M pro ratchet was expensive when it was $199. Now they are $400
In my first race car, very low budget and many moons ago I got a used slap stick for free and used that for along time. After I bought a 72 challenger and some how broke the T handle on the slap stick. Used the ball handle from the race car to fix it.Oh the days of parts exchange,use what ya got.
