BTW, the cause if this is, athough the SS is a precision machined part, the shift arm and pin isn't and can vary is size sometimes.
Are you 100% sure on that You and me seem to be the only people with this issue and we both have the piggies kit.

I had the same problem too. Took a couple of swipes with the dremel on the piggy and all was well. I thought it was strange but figured I bought cheap and had to throw in some of my labor to make it work. Been running it since feb '09 with no problems since install.

^ no longer available. I am producing our own Micro Image SSK, which will include the extra bracket just like the new TRD one does.

Pricing will be VERY good, awaiting a prototype to test and production is a GO.

Thanks

Garm,
What function does the bracket perform.
I`ve a Piggies which has been flawless for three years and nearly 100,000kl.
Will you sell this bracket separately if desirable.

The price is going to be competitive even with the extra bracket.

The replacement bracket (your car has a stock one) moves the shifter cable mounting points to match the short shift piece. The extreme "notchiness" should be alleviated with this design change.
