Here's a couple of videos on the TCI shifter.

Here's mine, I use it a lot in traffic and secondary roads. I have had mine about a year with no problems or issues.

It merely shifts the gears, but in a manner more visually appealing in a performance car. You'll likely never be able to shift more efficiently than the computer, but it is a very cool mod. I have no complaints with mine.

I put my car in Drive at the track with the TC and OD switched off, I can't think or shift as fast as the computer & trans. When I try to manually shift at WOT I hit the rev limiter about half the time.
