TWM is very nice and robust, 30% throw reduction is really nice. It really isn't that difficult at all to install it. I would say with someone who has done it before you are looking at about 30 minutes. Replacing my shifter was probably the easiest mod I did apart from just direct bolt on parts that required no extensive removal steps.

 

It was a tough choice between the WORKS and TWM, but in the end it came down to being offered a deal on the WORKS I couldn't pass up when TWM wasn't offering me anything but the 5% new customer discount (I see they now have an additional 10% discount through July 4th).

 

Personally, I think it all comes down to cost like you said. I got my on Black Friday so I think I got like 20-30% off. Basically, if you get one and it doesn't break you are golden .

 

I agree. The only reason I picked up my TWM short shifter is because they had a massive group buy on the "other" forum. I got the shifter and shifter base bushings shipped for basically the price of the shifter alone without shipping.

 

lol....well unfortunately its a total of 5 interviews....so 4 to go....thats the corporate world for ya...

WELLL.....im on my way to Trade Secret.....I'm assuming I wont see my Evo for 3 to 5 weeks....of course I hope I less...so now I get to drive this slow boring Civic until then....

If anyone happens to spot me on my way there....PLEASE Look away from me.....Im hideous!! or just look at my right side...


Oh....real quick....the other day I was watching the original Fast n Furious.....do yall remember that noise Paul walkers shifter made in his green eclipse when he would shift....u know when their trying to escape from the cops??....It had a sort of metal striking metal sound to it....I happened to notice it and thought....I wonder if those really exist???

Well if yall know...then hook a brotha up with some details....

 

That is funny becuz every time it happens....I do the same thing....but I would like to get the feel of one of you're guys shifter's before I commit to one.....

uhhh.....ok that sounded a really gay.....

but seriously.....would one of yall take me for a ride first??


OK!!!.....there is really no way to type or request such a thing without...false puns...

 

Solid metal shifter base and shifter cable bushings.

 

Any downsides to this assembly??...Any reccomendations on who makes the best one??


Just dropped my car off at Trade Secret...good old Ben said it would be a quick and easy fix....basically some new door skins and proper color matching....and doneski...he even said it be about a week after they received the parts...so maybe i'll make it to the newb modding day....

 

It took them almost two weeks to get the parts from Mitsu, hopefully it'll be quicker for you.

For metal shifter bushings I would like to recommend the TWM self-lubricating bronze ones to you, but they only make the correct size for the 2008 X, your next best choice would be the AMS shifter base, under-hood, and gate selector bushing set. They're $105 + shipping from AMS, but my guess is MAP could get you the complete set for under $100 shipped. I've always been a fan of solid metal bushings and with proper lubrication should be fine for you.

*edit*
I have a message in to Patrick @ TWM just to verify they do not have proper fitment for 2010 models at this time.

 

so with these parts....I will get that same sound?....sweet...of course when the proper fitment comes through...

 

Saw your car when I was working on the bike, doesn't look that bad.

 

I guess.....but I'm sure any owner of a Evo on this site would consider a fender bender a tragedy......nice R6 btw....I wish I still had the CBR600 my dad gave me when I was 17....too much adrenaline....too much....
