I love this Forged Shift ****. I never thought it would make as big of a difference as it did.

Trying to beat the heat? Want a weighted shift **** but can't stand burning your hand on it in the summer or getting frostbite from it in the winter?

Look no further!

Our new Hybrid Phantom **** is just the answer to those problems! Here at TWM Performance we put in the time and dedication to release a shift **** with the precise weight to slide flawlessly into gear, while also being tolerant to the most extreme of weather conditions....did I mention how beautiful the Phantom is?!

did not notice that in the pic, but yes it does have 6 spd pattern lol .. i'll be glad to be rid of that though as my OCD absolutely kills me about the writing being perfectly straight lmao.

will post pics of new ****, also ordered new shift boot to replace the leather w/ red stitching one i have now, new one is black alcantara w/ grey stitching, thought grey would better accent the brushed rings around all the gauge clusters, also got ebrake boot.

Does anyone know where to get a tap to clean the threads on the Z's shift ****? Tried to take off the FP stainless **** and reinstall stock, but I think my threads are boogered.

This is why you sold your Blox? I "fixed" that by using 4 washers. Then, I tried it with a nut; Too bad that makes the **** sit higher than it already does. Personally, it sits too high for my liking, but I'm going to give this a try for a bit since I like the shape and the weight. Plus, I got a good deal on it.

1. Blox "Limited Series" Platinum Type-R with 4 washers
2. Blox with nut (how I have it now)
3. Forged SS shift ****
4. approx. height comparison between Blox and Forged

I weighed the ***** for fun: Blox weighed 444.5g and Forged weighed 311.4g

well the writing, and the height like you said, bothered me too, and the fact that the shifter actually showed bothered me lol, if i tried to pull my shift boot up to the bottom of the **** then the boot was too tight, but ya i loved the weight and shape, it moved really good in my hand.

anyways, here is the new ****. installed .. this one sits much lower, so i cant wait to get my new boot in. love the weight on this thing (a little over a pound) .. i like the shape alot, but it is not as comfy as the blox was, i can get used to it though. here are some pics installed, havent put the console back together yet so excuse the mess.

Default Best Nissan Shift *****! Is your shift **** DLC coated?

Hey Guys,

Did you know that our custom finish shift ***** are DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated?

DLC is among other applications used in the engines of modern supersport motorcycles, Formula 1 racecars and NASCAR vehicles to reduce abrasive wear.

How tough is DLC, take a look at this You Tube as we try to refinish one of our DLC coated shift *****:


There are different finishes in DLC, Black (TWM Performance, Black Pearl, Gun Metal and Graphite) Gold (TWM Performance Championship Gold) and Bronze (TWM Performance Brushed Bronze)

Here another You Tube of a Championship Gold finish durability test:


Here is a pic of what they look like incoming from our supplier:



TWM Performance is the only Shift **** manufacturer to offer DLC coating. The reason, cost, the process is very expensive and time consuming, but we think it's worth it! What do you think?

Get your TWM Performance shift **** today:

Click Here for the World's BEST Shift *****!

Questions? PM us or email sales@twmperformance

Thanks Guys!

I have a question for you guys:

What is the heaviest shift **** that also lowers the overall height?

I'm looking for something that's around a 1lb or more that's kind of shaped like the ***** in my previous post (ex. Forged, Blox Type-R, etc).
