I just got this. Do you know if it's supposed to be chrome plated like in the description? Also, do the funky welding on my shifter look like it's going to affect me putting it into gear? The welding is not smooth at all. Since the shifter rotates around the ball, I'm afraid it's not going to let me in gear.

 

Booger welds.....i wouldn't use that. Just stick with the stocker.

 

ummm where did you buy it? Doesn't look like the Torque solution short shifter... return it.

This is what it should look like.

 

that thing looks like it's one hard downshift from snapping

 

Damn those look like my welds lol.

Based off the other picture of the real deal it looks like you bought something that was made in someone's garage....from someone with no skill.

 

Yea, they look pretty ****ty. I contacted the vendor and the company. Vendor said all of their copies have the same welding like the one I received, so no point in exchanging unless I want a refund. The company said that's how it is now (in short)... The one with the clean welds are SO MUCH nicer, I feel like I'm getting ripped. I might just install it. Haven't decided yet but will decide by Saturday.

 

looks like poop...can you swap it for another brands shifter? There are a handful of choices out there

 

swap it for WORKS

 

I actually like the Works, but took a chance at this. The cheapest I've seen Works is 150. Where did you buys yours?

 

I got mine directly from WORKS. I also got all the under hood bushings and console bushings.

for reference: http://store.worksmotorsports.com/WO...03_642.104.htm

it's an entire package for the evo x. you can of course, just get the shifter by itself.

 

I would def get rid of that, I have the TS one and loved it. Hope it all works out for you.

 

return that crap. make the company suffer for even carrying it. make them pay for return sihpping also. that's worse than crap.

 

you sure it's even a genuine TS product? i have a few of their products on my ride and their quality is top notch.

 

Yea, it's legit. The vendor is an authorized vendor and TS didn't deny it in their email to me. They said I wouldn't see it after install.

That's the reason I bought it, because I thought it was good quality. When I got it, it was a 'wtf?' moment.

 

I highly doubt that's an actual torque solution shifter. I also have one for my X and it looks nothing like that. Return it and buy it through a reputable vendor on here like STM, buschur, MAP etc etc. That way you know you're getting legit products at a good price.
