I know that a certain person in the UK is in the final stages of developing a new GC unit which he is hopefully going to have ready for the Memphis show. I am in need of a new GC as well but I have seen his work before and he knows his stuff. I have cunningly code named it the Rich'O'Shift though I very much doubt this name will catch on :-) I would much rather have a new beefed up version at a better price than buy OEM which could suffer the same fate. I know that for now he is making it so it will fit in the same location as the original and work in the same way with a much greater resistance to voltage spikes and temperature fluctuations I also heard him muttering about the possibility of a sports mode button which would change the shift pattern like in a modern day automatic, and even tip-tronic controls to shift from the steering wheel.
