TWM M1 Abrams..
also have one in half black resin for summer time
Have since cut the TWM short shifter down over an inch so the threads stop level w the shifter srround base....as well and added a gated shifter over the top of all this.. including a zeetoyz finisher.
After all that.. i will say... aside from look at me status, Stock **** is a very good option to retain.
Heres what i use when my TWM shifter breaks at 70mph on the FWY..

Here's my '08 with a Momo shift **** (on Nismo adjustable short shifter) and an Isotta handbrake handle.

LOL! So it just went boom? That's odd.
Doesn't that one feel kind of small? Looks pretty good.
I really like how this looks. Any complaints about it?
When you guys change the shift **** does changing gears or w/e feel any different?
Basically, does the **** you're using have an effect on your driving experience?
^^^
Feels like a damn science fair project now

A different shift setup can definitely make a big change in the way the car feels. The Momo **** is very heavy, which smooths things out, and I prefer a short shifter, but other guys may not. A shorter lever requires more force and precision than a longer one, but the trade-off is shorter throws between gears. The large round **** is nice because I can just palm it and don't even really have to grip it. I prefer to shift with my palm facing down, but others may like to have their palm facing to the left, so a more vertically-shaped **** might be better. There's no best solution.
