Anyone purchase, install and use a cable shift for the 914 transaxle from these guys?

So, I went ahead and bought the product. I've installed it. Sadly, after 16 hours monkey screwing around (over and above the install) I've yet to make it work.
Jim, the owner of cablshift.com is trying to be helpful I can't fault him that, but at this point I'm having fairly serious doubts this can work. And so far, I've yet to hear of a single person who has installed one of cableshift.com's units on a 914 (reads 914 specifically) transaxle. A $700 dollar boat anchor? We shall see.

Care to elaborate on this a bit more? Maybe some pictures?

I'm still looking for a decent cable shift kit ...
