I am looking for a shifter for a 6 cylinder 5 speed box. What would be a fair price and does anyone have one? Or are these rare?

VK 3.3L carby 5 speed is the same box as the 2.85L VH unit apart from some selective shot-peening of the internals to make 2nd gear a bit stronger.
They were rated at 200Nm, and the stock VK carby 6 was capable of 231Nm.
