I like it over stock because of the ball bearings, but in my experience, short shifters/throws dont equal faster shifts. In 95% of people I help with driving the leg is the slow factor not the arm/hand, and further shortening the throw makes the timing needed that much more precise.

For people not into dragging though, this seems like a very well thought out shifter. Im curious to see if it would help my 4-5 notchiness, but I dont want a throw reduction.

 

The post was entertaining but the price is wayyyy too steep for me as well as many other members on here, and it probably won't be on top of our priority list of mods to buy. Worst case scenario, if I wanted shorter throw, I'll just shift faster...

Nailed it.

 

you should do a review of stillen short shifter and nismo adjustable short shifter i would love to see the difference

 

Stay tuned for Part 2

 

^ oh i will i recently bought the nismo short shifter lets see how good your review is then i'll buy lol

 

Sounds fair . It should be up on Monday!

 

I think i'll stick with stock for $250, I'd prolly spend $150 lol maybe $200 if it had tons of good reviews

waiting for the reviews!

 

monday bump

 

Would love to seem some reviews on this.
I'm with Alberto, I love the upgraded components you used but not really sure I want a shorter shift.

 

I will say that TWM makes high quality products. My last car was a 2002 Sentra Spec V. It suffered the same sloshy shifter that the 350z has. Granted the TWM shifter for my Sentra was only a cable shifter, and not a full mount in tranny shifter, it was still a high quality piece. My 350z shifter is nowhere near as precise and smooth as the TWM cable shifter that I had.

I had the Nismo adjustable short throw on my car for a while, but I never saw any difference...and for some reason I lost my gates. Thus I sold it and went back to stock. With the TWM now on the market though....it is tempting.

 

^ yea its wayyy pass monday

 

Dam sorry guys. With SEMA this week, it's been VERY busy. This weekend will be spent catching up on work, and hopefully next week I can get something together and finished for you guys!

 

Some cheap bastids in this community! Guys will spend their whole paychecks on stick-on CF overlays and headlight/tail light mods, but can't seem to pony up the dough to improve a part that you use dozens of times every single time you get in the car, lol.

 

Very true. "OMG check out the carbon fiber valve covers for the valve covers that will eventually need to be replaced." "Check out the k2 fiberglass bumper that's completely not aerodynamic and that also eventually cracks."

 

^^^^^^^^
too true...too true.

 

Before I start, i need to say that I have a 370 and that I was the beta tester for the TWM 370 SS.

First, the guys at TWM have a very clean working environment. When they invited me for a tryout, i was a bit suspicious about rattling (on cold start or a specific RPMs)... After 5 months with the short throw shifter in the car, i can confirm that no issues or what so ever arise over time.

Also consider that i do about 3 to 5 lapping events per season (we have long winters up here...) and that heating and sustained high revolution didn't have any effects on the installation.

It reduces the throw by about 40% and the height by about 0.25 inch. Very short yet smooth and easy to engage gears. Definitely adds to the fun factor of the car! I currently only have one picture taken at the shop to show the shifter installed (with OEM ***).

This mod is my #2 favourite (after my CBE) and has a great ROI (return on investment) that you can start to enjoy as soon as you engage 1st gear!!!

 

bump for part 2 review

 

Can i be the beta tester? lol
