Thumbs up Just got my TWM Performance short shifter/shift ****! :

First of all... GREAT company. I ordered it over the weekend, it shipped out on Monday and I got it Tuesday at 10:30am.
I did pay for the UPS Express shipping (~$36) but it was definitely worth it for next day service.

It was very very easy to install, even for a n00b as myself, who has no mechanic experience whatsoever.

This is the short shifter I got:


and this is the shift **** I got:


Overall it came out to be $289 with some polyurethane shift bushings and the shift boot adapter for the ****.

Here's a (crappy cellphone) pic of it installed:



The name of the company is TWM Performance, they're based out of Canada.
Their website is: http://www.twmperformance.com

Here's the page for the Nissan 350z short shifter.

I just traded my Z in for a WRX. :P

That's a pretty good price, I may have to pick one up for my Z.

It DEFINITELY makes a difference. It's real short and quick. Having driven the STI before, which comes stock with a short shifter, this is a definite improvement over the regular WRX shifter.

I'm looking forward to installing the bushings tomorrow.

Im rocking a TWM shift **** in my Z and love it! I was thinking the TK shift **** for the weight but i found this one and its 480 grams which is pretty decent.. The finish on it is VERY nice!

Ordered one of these also for the Z.

To replace the rattling overly knotchy piece of garbage stealin short shifter.

With the weighted big type r **** and also installing a urethane transmission mount from Z1..combo should be oh so sweet when installed.

Please post reviews after installation.

Sure it will help send customers to both Z1 and TWM.
