I take it this will be compatible with the bushing kit that TWM also sells, I just ordered it yesterday and I am looking forward to the short shifter as well!!
The bushings used in the "bushing kit" look like aluminum and these look to be plastic...I just want to make sure what bushings will be in the kit so when I purchase the short shifter I won't have two sets of bushings that are the same.

If you get a chance to check on these questions with 'em that would be good.

Thanks.

they are not in plastic and you will have the choice of buying the kit with bushing or without.
 
will they offer a "straight" shift lever model...that whole horizontal part on the stock one bothers me....
 
ok guys , so i just got back home from TWM , i went to pick up my car so i can test the short shifter!!!

First let me tell you that THIS IS A MUST!!!! :love:

changing gear is so precise , every gear goes in so nice and it is so much shorter !! cant wait for the races to start to really try it out...
it is really 35% let me tell you that.

once engage in gear the shifter doesnt move left or right its stays in place , when you press the gaz pedal it doesnt go backward. it is just amazing !! its been 20 min im driving with it and i love it..

i had a short shifter in my RX-7 , in my protege 5 turbo but none of them was even close to that short shifter :drive:

it is NOTHING compare to stock not even close :nono:

and for the price it will be very very worth it!! ill let kevin from TWM give you guys all the details on that!! his nick name is TWM on the site send him a pm :yesnod:

Thanks for clearing that up, it's always good to get that stuff out of the way early.
Look forward to buying one very soon!!
 
MS6freek, sounds good but did you loose any of the smoothness shifting from gear to gear? any notchiness?
My son has a short shifter in his M3 and while the throws are really short it a very notchy feeling, not smooth at all changing gears.
Just curious, I've never had a short shifter, so I don't have a clue.

And what exactly is the difference between buying this item with and without the bushings?
 
you would only buy it without the bushings if you already had bought them. The bushings are what make the shifts precise.
