Here are some impressions from Team Sahlen
As many of you know by now, there are many race teams now running the TWM Performance Full Replacement Short shifter in their 2010 MazdaSpeed3 in series all over the country! Here is what a few of the Drivers and Team managers had to say about the TWM Performance short shifter after a full day of testing at the track:
Jay Chapman Team Manager: "TWM's product is obviously superior to the OEM shifter, the overall feel of the shifter is solid, shorter throws and easier for our drivers to go up and down through the gears with more confidence"
Jay Chapman: "I can't believe the pricing on this unit, similiar products are going for twice the amount of TWM's Speed 3 kit.
Joe Nonnamaker Owner/Driver: "We use a sequential gearbox in our RX-8's, TWM's shifter kit is nearly comparable to it, can't wait to see it in action during a race"
Joe Nonnamaker: " The OEM shifter felt like driving a semi, the time it takes to go from 1st to 2nd gear, 2nd to 3rd feels like it takes forever. TWM's kit made the car even better to drive."
Joe Nonnamaker: "The weighted shift knob is a bonus, we should never miss a shift, a solid piece with great fit and finish"
