You can buy the shifter assembly with the China cable for around $300.

Never mind the backlash on the China cable when it's on the car and it selects between two gears and lunches a box, it's only $50.

Heavy vehicle guys don't mind paying what it costs but the light vehicle market I get people whinging about $2 differences between competition.

It's not uncommon to get people with big dollar builds spit chips over paying $200 for custom cables.
Similar to the Borg Warner genuine kickdown cables advertised on the bay, I guess.
