11 Evo X Reg: shifter need help

Hey everyone I was checking out some shifter bushings and some other stuff to see what will help make the shifting on these cars better, cause the stock shifter doesnt feel good and every time you put it on 3rd it does that sound like a grind, it doesnt grind but that sound which i know most of you realized it already.
What do you guys recommend, should i go with the kit from TWM the shifter base, cable and transmission arm bushing kit combo from them ?
Is all of that needed and will that resolve the switching to 3rd issue or not.

Please if someone could help me out here.
Thanks

The solid base bushings and the metal underhood bushings and transmission arm bushings make the biggest difference. No need to change the actual shifter unless you want it lower/shorter.

You might also want to try the free fix of adjusting the shifting cables to your liking. I found this made the biggest difference in shifting quality.

Would it be better to get the whole cage replaced or is that not necessary?

In my opinion the best shifter + bushing and underhood bushing set on the market is TWM, I've had 3 of their sets over the years. they all performed flawlessly!

http://www.twmperformance.com/shorts...rtshifters.htm

`$184.95

I will also say that the customer service is awesome. as i installed one of thier kits in my old car i snaped one of the oem parts of my car. the dealership couldn't help me but TWM did. TWM shipped out a part for me right away free of charge. I had the part in about 24 hours.

Also found another one
