Exclamation TWM Performance Feeler thread ----- NEW Full Replacement Caged Short Shifter!!!

Here's the LINK to the PRE-ORDER!!!

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ve...t-shifter.html





Hi everyone,

Great news for the Evo X community! TWM Performance has been hard at work doing some brand new R&D for the Evo X in the shifting department. Even after designing our Evo X short shifter and bushings, we've always felt that there was play in the transmission cables and the unit itself. So we looked into what exactly was causing this.

Basically it came down to two factors. The actual cables had play in them, and the full plastic unit that houses the shifter, flexes under hard shifting. So we went to work on a solution.

What we designed is another one of our Full Replacement short shifters. This will be TWM's 3rd unit (right now we offer FR's for the Mazda community and Honda's) and it could very well be our best one yet!

Made of 100% steel and TIG welded, this unit will use the TWM Performance Evo X short shifter. The reduction in throw will be 25%-35% and will feature a relocated pivot point. It will be interchangeable between a street version and race version (street version will have low pivot point and race version will bring the shifter closer to the steering wheel by elevating the pivot point). Structural rigidity will be increased by about 100% which will improve feel and feedback immensely.

Pricing will be around $450 and the cage only will be available separately for people who already own a TWM Performance short shifter!

For the time being here is a teaser of our engineering product rendering

UPDATE






STAY TUNED FOR THE OFFICIAL PRODUCT LAUNCH COMING SOON!

I'm sure the same way a short shifter is. You just have to remove the plastic housing/cage instead of just the shifter.

Funny was just thinking about how cheap and sketchy the stock plastic one looks when I was in there the other day. Not going to lie I wouldn't be picking one up now but def something I'd pick up in the future.
