You can do a google search and the universal RWD sequentil Samsonas trans is 9912 Euros which is about $11355.68. It would be nice to see where the additional $4K comes in thru VAC selling it in the USA.

Shipping, import taxes, some profit, running a business....

And as the $15k price is fixed, presumably they've built in some lee-way to cover exchange rate fluctuations, and perhaps also some for a bit of discount

And exchange rates offered also vary, I know for damn sure credit card companies and Paypal etc rip the **** out of it when I'm buying stuff from the US....but what can you do ?

Hell even in the last 3 months, the price of the sequential shifter from Oz has effectively went up in price about £200 for me, that's an easy 15% hike just due to exchange rate changes

Got this drawing from Samsonas.

Measurement of the box, including the LS front plate adaptor and rear slip yoke section.

Looks like it's only an inch or so shorter than an FBody T56...I'm sooo tempted.
