Well, just bought one. Lets see how it goes. From what everyone is saying, I'm really looking forward to getting it put on. I saw also that there is a pdf with install instructions on the website. These combined should make it pretty straight forward. I'll let everyone know how it goes. (ordered it 4 mins ago)
All decent hardware stores should have some.

Great detailed process of the fitting , top job 
To Patrick@TWM Performance; could you please tell me if you do a kit to suit right hand drive cars, i have a 5 speed X RS, i have linkage bushings done on the selector cables, and was wondering who did what short shift wise, then i found this thread
looks a quality product, but as the shifter shaft has the dog leg in to throw it towards the driver , i assume they are handed??
Does the spherical part where the spring housing fits rotate , (then held in postion with a keyway or grub screw) or is it fixed to the shaft or is it actually a one piece assembly?
I am keen to try one of these units but if there is no r/hand drive option, i will have to look at something else.
Many thanks, Nick

Hello Nick,
You'll be happy to know that we do offer an EVO X short shifter for RHD applications. The short shifter is fixed and the RHD TWM Shifter is straight as opposed to being offset to the left (for LHD cars) so that your Neutral is located directly in the center of your RHD consol.
If you check out the following link to our site, you'll see that there is an option to select the RHD unit when in the "select your model" drop down menu.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help!
Thanks,
Patrick

Installed mine, all I have to say is DAMN! I am very happy. The installation instructions that came with the part were more then perfect. Followed them to a "T" and did not have any issues at all. I am happy that third gear now seems a ton less notchy and the shifting is so much quicker. A great add on to seriosly increase driving perfomance and enjoyment.

The notchiness still exists for me (with short throw, both sets of bushings, and new fluid) but it has been drastically reduced. The overall feel is greatly increased with the short throw. Def a good mod even if it doesn't totally remove notchiness.

I just installed my shifter today. Thanks to the excellent instructions and the OP's additional information, there were no issues with the installation. Shifting feels great. Throws are positive and precise. I would recommend this shifter to everyone!
