Default Axxtion Short Throw Shifter Beware

Five days later, still no replies to my e-mails and no phone number to contact him. He's got my money and 3 weeks later I don't have a part. Beware.
Anyone living in Anaheim wanna drive past 1340 N Dynamics St Unit E and say hi for me?

I was going to do the test fitting when they first came out with it but then it didn't work out for some reason. They didn't reply after. Looked like a good part. I could see if they exist if you give me your thoughts after the install, haha.

Wow, thanks for the info, was just shopping for a short shifter (prolly just going with the TRD) but I was looking at the Axxtion as an add-on... skipping that idea.

I got mine in Jan 2010 no issues whatsoever, emails replied and part received within 2 weeks.

Hopefully it's just a funk and he'll be responding again. Good luck guys. It's a good piece, I'm loving mine. No more slamming my fist into the cubby when going into 1/3/5 gear.

Finally got a direct phone call and was told part is on the way. He was in the middle of moving his shop. I can see how that can be a huge task, but keeping in touch with customers should also be important. Hopefully problem solved and I just caught him at a bad time.

Tryin' to keep both sides in consideration....OMG my wife is effecting me.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but looks like this guy is just as unreliable as in the past. I contacted him to make sure he's still in business. Sent Paypal with promise of mailing by priority the next day. Almost a week later and no part and no response to emails.

BUYER BEWARE!!

Resurrecting a 4 year old post just to complain about a late shipment?

That is funny. But not quite as funny as someone that comments on it! Some people just can't help themselves from being d0ucheb@gs, can you?

Almost forgot about this thread, and then I realized how ridiculous it would be to comment on it after almost a month, kind of like resurrecting a 4 year old post to complain about something trivial. But anyway, look at you Dave, using a zero and @ sign to avoid moderation. Clever! I suppose that it takes "d0ucheb@g" to know a "d0uchebag", though. Amirite?!

I was warning fellow board members about a vendor. You trolled my post, not to help anyone or provide any on-topic info, but to complain that I broke your netiquette rules....you're right, I'm the d0ucheb@g. Have a blessed life!

I have sold over 3,000 units without a complaint other than the 3 in this thread who got their shifter late though they didn't complain about the shifter. At 74 years old, things come up in a guy's life that he has to deal with that's more important such as family and health. I still own and run my own company building aerospace parts. A $20K satellite part is way better than $100 STS. It's always the few that ruin it for the many. Thanks to all.

It's all good brother. They're called the LOUD minority for a reason
