PRE-REVIEW: Quality looks great, perfect CNC job, all parts and tid bits included, installation instructions detailed and pictures included. Looks like a great part thus far. The TWM logo is a sticker . No one see it anyways, does not matter. Reduce throw by 30%

Why didn't you get the consol bushings?



I love my TWM short shifter, as a matter of fact this weekend I'll be installing this TWM weighted shift knob...

I went wit the WORKS bushing set. I prefer urethane than pure metal.

Just installed it tonight. Fitment was perfect. instructions were spot on, all the hardware worked flawlessly. Truly a great buy.

I will report more on the shifting in the coming week.

Yes, I have both WORKS console & Shifter bushing set. Install was okay, hard part was taking out the old rubber bushings. The short shifter install was super easy. Just follow the instructions.

The first day, the car shifted awkwardly. I think since everything was new and super stiff. Now about after 3 days of driving everything has settled in and shifts are more precise and very spot on. It's still a bit notchy but alot less than before, Im sure the Amsoil MTG helps as well.

I am very happy with it so far. Shifts great. I would recommend it.
