TWM Short Shifter

[Rawyzf]

I just had this installed on the MS6. It is amazing. The shifts are so nice and chrisp and short. I would recommend this to everyone.

How much did they charge you and how long did it take them?

Nice let me know who did it for you.

I had the dealership do it(Walser Mazda) since that is where I bought the car. I didn't want to risk screwing up the counsil or anything with scratches or breaking anything.

It was $150 to have them do it.

Here are a few pics...

i saw a speed 6 at the meet that had the short shifter, it feels awesome, the throws are so much shorter and it feels very precise.

I did this install myself and it is one of the most satisfying things I could have done.
It makes shifting with this stupid clutch so much easier because the throw between gears is so much quicker, more solid, and precise that I can do a gear change in one consistent motion of the clutch rather than the rpm's dropping off in between shifts like it did before (while driving in a more deliberate, smooth manner as you would on most days) leading to a rough engagement.
Thanks to TWM for making my Speed what I want it to be!(drive)

Is the shifter overly notchy now and hard to get in some gears? That is usually a complaint about short shifters.

Overly notchy, I'd say no. You definatly know when you are in gear though. I'd say more of crisp than notchy!

With a heavier aftermarket shift knob, TWM for instance (I have a black anodized TWM) mine feels smoother than the stock shifter. And alot shorter of course......

I only mention this because I finally received the silver carbon fiber shifter from CorkSport and it is lighter than the stock knob. To me the CF LOOKS better but the TWM being heavier FEELS better.

I agree. Got the Type R knob from TWM and what a difference it makes together with the short shifter kit. BTW, comparing the typr R to the stock knob, the later seems to be a featherweight despite it isn't so light weight to begin with. Highly recommended.

Just need a custom boot from Redline in black with some silver stitching and it will be complete!

Yes, it makes sense. Where can I source this from? Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Looking into ordering one. Just wondering if I should just stick to black/silver stitching on the order? Or what is the best match in terms of colour of the stock leather surrounding to the one is available on their online weblink? Just to be sure I am getting the perfect match in colour.

Yes, I orginally order the Satin black just like yours. But they ran out of stock and I changed to stainless steel and it turns out quite a good match IMO

 

[snooky]

who ever bought the TWM shifter can i buy your stock shift, PM me please

Hey guys,

Glad to hear you're enjoying the MazdaSpeed 6 short shifter! Our first production run was almost all gone before it was even complete because of our pre-orders, but we have plenty in stock now. Thanks for your orders and thank you for the props!
