Which Shifer?

Well I'm looking to change my shifter some how... now I want to get your opinion on this one.

Should I do a short shifter, weighted shift ****, or just get a purdy shift **** that doens't really do anything? Would the difference in shifting be really noticible with a short shifter or a weighted shifter? Does anyone have either of those and wanna tell me?

Well I would say get the package twm as its meant to work with a short shifter not a stock... as for the short shifter it makes a good amount of change from stock and is a quicker shift...

Go to any hardware store, Home Depot or Sears and get a Tap and Die set.

Like this:

I'm not sure of the threading size/pitch of the stock shifter, most likely will be metric. Maybe you can get away with just buying the one die to rethread instead of buying a kit.
