Default Which shifter has the shortest throw. B&M, TRD, TWM, or

Ive been following shifter threads but which shifter has the shortest throw.

B&M, TRD, TWM, or Creative Compacts. I'm probably going to get the Creative Compacts.

From longest throw to shortest:

TRD
B&M
TWM

As the Creative Compacts is supposed to be a copy of the TWM, I guess it would be the same. The TWM is OEM quality-- I'm anxious to see how the CC shifter turns out, after someone finally gets one.

It'll probably be a toss-up between TWM and CreativeCompacts. Not sure about the stick height of CC's shifter but I believe those two are close. B&M and TRD do not shorten the stick height at all so naturally their throw isn't gonna be as short.

CC's shifter has the cheapest price of the four at $89.

Actually the B&M does shorten the height, but they porvide taller bushings to go under the shifter base to raise to stock level. If you leave the stock bushings, it will sit lower.

Default twm

Installed the twm shifter last night and it is incredable. Looks geat too after triming the leather and flipping the ring over. Shifter automaticaly sets u up for a perfect shift each time. Don't have feel around for a smoth shift. I think this should be a first mod. I don't see the creative compacts shifter being this good. Well worth the **** and shifter combo. Its about 2.5 inches gear to gear.
