Hello everyone,
I figured we would create a thread that will give all everyone a quick overview of the TWM Performance line up of products we offer in terms of shift *****.
As you can see here, and as you may already know, TWM Performance offers the most extensive line of products to improve the shift feel in your car and the overall look of you interior. All of this is done while retaining OEM, or better, fitment and providing the highest quality materials available on the market today.
TWM Performance line up of high end stainless steel weighted shift *****
When upgrading to a short shifter, people often thing that they have done everything to improve the shift feel of their vehicle. They often forget the benefits that a heavy weighted shift **** can have on the shifting feel of a car. A heavier shift **** carries more kinetic energy and momentum with it when set in motion than a stock, lighter shift ****. This effect of carrying more momentum makes the shift **** more difficult to stop when set in motion, so it essentially helps you engage the next gear. This results in a smoother shift feel with less direct effort required from the driver to engage the next gear. Basically a heavier shift **** smooths out the shift feel, and almost makes the shift feel effortless.
The other great advantage of a TWM weighted shift ****, and another exclusivity in the industry, is our NTIS® technology. A universal shift **** that retains the stock thread-on design and that is fully height adjustable. TWM shift ***** are the ONLY shift ***** in the industry with these features and it means they can be installed in virtually every car with a threaded shifter shaft. In the case of the Corvette with a stock shifter, threading the stock shaft can easily be done with a regular Die.
All TWM weighted shift ***** are available in 5 different and durable finishes as pictured below:

M1 Abrams
The M1 Abrams is our best selling shift ****. It’s round shape fits perfectly in the palm of the hand and weighing in at 460 grams, solid and precise shifts are assured all the time, every time. The M1 Abrams is threaded as deeply as possible to offer the lowest setting you can get compared to the stock shift ****.

A6 Leopard
Our second most popular shift **** is the A6 Leopard weighted shift ****. Featuring a similar shape as the M1 Abrams but with a bottom collar for people who like more room between the shift **** and the shift boot, this shift **** weighs 485 grams for a positive shift feeling.

Type R
Another very popular shift **** is the Type R weighted shift ****. Like every TWM shift ****, it is threaded as deeply inside as possible for maximum height adjustability.

Piston
Brand new to the TWM shift ***** line up is the TWM Piston weighted shift ****. Inspired by rally and track race, this new model features the quality and durability you have come to expect out of every TWM Performance product.
The design of this shift **** is inspired by the traditional piston shape you all know but with a smooth and unique TWM touch for the best grip and shift feeling you can get. Weighing in at 520 grams, this new shift **** will give solid and precise shifts to your car.

BIG Type R
One of our latest editions to our family of shift ***** is the Big Type R weighted shift ****. Based on our popular Type R shift ****, the Big Type R RL is 15% bigger in every angle than the regular Type R shift ****.

Weighing in at 600 grams, this is the perfect choice for anyone in the market for a heavy shift ****.

The original TWM Performance Shift **** ... the Classic. Its extremely smooth and clean styling offers a timeless and classy look to your interior.

Desert Eagle
TWM Performance has combined the design of our Classic shift **** with the dimensions of our popular .44 Magnum shift **** resulting in our heaviest weighted shift yet! The famous smooth shape of this awesome shift **** is already well known but never before has it been offered with this magnitude. Get smooth classic styling while substantially improving your shift feel thanks to 600 grams of billet stainless steel.

We have been talking for years about the benefits of our weighted stainless steel shift *****, but some customers prefers the feel of an aftermarket shift **** with more or less the same weight as a stock shift ****. This is where our line up of aluminum shift ***** comes as the only answer!
Weighing in between 130 and 160 grams, these lightweight aluminum shift ***** features our exclusive NTIS technology for a perfect fitment on virtually every car with a threaded shifter. The finish is raw aluminum carefully polished by hands on the lathe for a bright silver look.
Every Classic Series TWM Performance shift **** (with TWM logo or without engraving) retails for $69.95. The aluminum shift ***** with engraved shift patterns retails for $86.90.

All pm's replied! To answer your questions, the shift ***** do not need any sort of finisher. The finishes are extremely durable and guaranteed to last the lifetime of the shift ****!
As for pictures of the M1 Abrams, I'm going to look through my archives to see if I can find something. I'll get back to you guys asap!
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Thanks
Patrick
