I think im going to go with the Stage 1 TWM short shifter. I don't think I can handle 2.5" shorter with the Stage 2. Which one are you leaning torwards?

That one looks just like CC's. Even the risers are the same color. What's the drop on it? CC's is 1.5" (The one I'm definitely looking to get).

I was thinking CC.com's but may go TWM Stage 2 Depending on what some of you guys have to say. And Im going to check out the HOS one right now.

I've installed 2 TWM SS's on tCs (one being my own). Both installed identically (good tolerance) and I am VERY pleased with the result. The other tC owner loves his as well. I'll have a vid next week on the web showing how fast I can go through the first 4 gears so people get an idea of it.

I just put the B&M on mine and it rocks. I really do not like how the stage 2 TWM shifter looks...it is way too short. The B&M is only a little shorter than stock, but really does a great job of shortening the throws. I'm very happy with it.

After looking at it... I think that BOS one is the CC one. Looks like the same thing. Same ****, same risers, same packaging. Anyone have any other details on this?

Between TWM stage 2 and CC shifters, which is shorter in terms of height ? Also which one feels stiffer? Thanks.

The TWM is shorter... as for stiffer, I don't think anyone can have a real answer b/c anyone that has one, only has one of them and probably can't compare.

Either one will stiffen up though. But it also depends on how much grease you use.

This one is from EBAY: 1.5 shorter, 30%less throw supposedly. Cheapest so far. What do you guys think?
