TWM shifter w/ bearings?

[eepr5]

I was looking at the new TWM shifter that has bearings in it. is this any better than like the kartboy, and does it still need bushings? I can get it or a whole kartboy package for about the same price, but I like the idea of having heat shield spacers with the TWM kit. Inputs?

honestly i would save your money for the B&M or Kartboy...with the B&M i didnt have to do s*** to my heat shield

I have the twm shifter, you don't need anything from your current setup, heatshield modification is just 2 fat washers. I like it, I'd recommend it, then again, I don't really swap shifters too often =)

yeah i'm really partial to the Kartboy one

i'm not sure what the bearings do on the other shifter. since the stock urethane ones are so think you wont gain anything with a bronze or whatever material is hot setup this week.

the shifter bushings on the other hand make a huge difference. they are almost 1.5 inches in diameter.

for the heatshield mod
we had a S&M shifter in our car for two days. it bound pretty bad.
we just have the customer bend the heatshield down a touch. its really easy and thin metal.

happy shifting
