short shifter recommendations?
I have the TWM complete kit, and while I really like it, their CS/QC has been annoying to say the least. If you do get one, make sure you check the shifter threads (where the knob/adapter threads on) before you install it. Mine came mis-threaded from the factory. They sent me a new adapter nut thinking that was the problem (it wasn't). Instead of offering to cross ship me a new shifter with a deposit, their solution was that I send it back at my cost so they could send me one that they didn't' **** up. As they are in Canada, it wouldn't have been cheap to send it back, and it would have meant my car was going to be down for a while without a shifter (I don't have my OEM one stored locally). I told them I would just try to chase the threads with a die next time I had to remove the console. for right now, I just threaded the soft aluminum insert over the screwed up threads (I have a spare nut to use later that they sent me). They also forgot to send me the transmission arm bushing that was supposed to be included with the kit (and still haven't gotten it to me). That was a NICE surprise during the install. If they get it to me at some point, maybe I'll get to install it a few months later when I swap my OEM turbo for a MHI... or whenever I decide I want to pull my intake off again for **** and giggles...
A product and service that is 90% there (the replacement cage is REALLY nice). Definitely double and triple check everything if you go with them BEFORE you start the install. From what I read on the forums, this happened to some guys in Australia too... well before I ordered (so I figured it was sorted out). They are pretty good about answering e-mails... I will give them that! But for $600 for the whole kit and a (VERY NICE) shift knob, I expected a bit more.

Anyone tried both? I'd love to not spend the extra money, but I HATE the stock shifter and want it to drastically change before I get pissed off and start slamming it with a hammer.
