short throw shifter recommendation
Hold up, you've been mislead here. The guy who posted the pic w/ the dremal is not cutting/trimming the factory carrier housing, he's cutting off the clips that hold the retention pins in place. You have the remove these clips to access the shifter - period. You can pound them off w/ a hammer/chisel, but cutting them off is by far the quickest and easiest way.
I have the TWM and the base bushings, and I'm very satisfied.

or is it better/faster to leave it bolted in ? i would think if your going to install base bushings then you would uninstall the cage cut outside the car and re-install
You don't need to remove the cage in either case.
TWM Performance for me too. I didn't do the bushings, and I don't think they are necessary.
From my research, you have 2 choices:
Adjustable
Non-Adjustable
Adjustable - You can change the feel. It could also move on you or come apart. Not to mention that you need to take things back apart to adjust.
Non-Adjustable - Solid chunk of steel that isn't going anywhere.
Thats all there really is to decide from, as installation is the same for them all.

Thanks for the great feedback guys!
We always recommend to use a dremel tool with a rotary cutting disk to remove the push clip because it's a lot faster than just using a flat head screwdriver to pry it out. Since we include replacement clips with the short shifter, it's not a problem to cut it!
Also, you don't need to remove the complete shifter assembly from the car to do the install. It's all pictured in our installation manual, the only thing I would do if I was installing the short shifter in my personal car would be to cut the part of the carpet that's in the way to get to the bottom bushings.

Why do people want the stock height? Try the lower height and see if you like it.
Trust me, it is nice. TWM didn't make their shifter jog to the left and 1.25" shorter for no reason.
