TWM = 35% throw reduction, 2 1/2 inches shorter than stock, lifetime warranty, 30 minutes to install

CC = 30% throw reduction, 2 inches shorter than stock, no warranty, around an hour to install...for beginners, even more time

not quite the same but close...i'm in no way bashing the CC STS because i also thought it was pretty good...installed it on a buddy's tC and have driven it and it's not bad at all and affordable. But i do firmly believe that the TWM is a little better in many categories. It is however, in the eye of the beholder though. Let's just keep to the facts as i stated in the comparison so we can show this person the differences and this person can then decide for themselves. Of course everybody with a particular product is gonna say that theirs is the best, but that's all in opinion really right?

Speaking of base bushings, shift boots, cable bushings, and weighted shift *****, TWM now offers full tc short shifter packages with all of the above included at a big discount. Now you can find all of your shifter accessories in one place, and pay shipping only once ;)

Check it out: Full tC shifter packages

And if you take advantage of the Thanksgiving discount codes, you would save a total of $45 off the price of buying them all separately.

Since neither comes with a cage, its just the shifter and you use the stock plastic cage, How do you expect the TWM to take 30 minutes to install, but the Creative Compacts takes an hour +?? Install time should be the same, should it not??

No difference between the cc and the twm stage 1 or 2? I have the cc and was thinking of getting the twm 2 but not if there's no difference. Or do you mean difference in install time?

to install either shifter, you have to go through the same exact process.
