Agreed, page 10 and still confused. You can risk getting the TWM 2 and have bad 1-2 shifts. Stick with stock height and short shifts with TRD, or save money and get the CC which is similar to the TWM but doesn't have a record of bad shifts.

Is that summary correct?

 

Oops double posted

 

Not sure about the others, but for the TWM satge 2. I had the same 1-2 shifting problem. Then i was suggested to purchase NST shifter bushing from their website, ($22). After installed (took 3 minutes), i have NEVER missed a shift since, and i mean slamming gears!!! I'm in love with my setup now!!

 

Ive seen the same ones on E-Bay. I would be very careful when buying a cheap shifter. My friend bought one for a Civic and it was brand new, looked really nice, came with a nice ****, but after about a month he was racing and went to throw it in third and the shifter bent in half.....the shifter was made out of cheap aluminum.

 

after over a month now with my TRD STS, i can say that ive almost gotten used to it so much that it feels kind of long again. that first week, i noticed a huge difference, but it wore off soon after that, and; like the springs; felt like this is what the car should have just come with in the first place rather than something aftermarket.

 

On the right, a TWM Stage 2.

On the left, an OEM shifter with the pivot ball knocked up the shaft about 8/10 of an inch and the top 1.5" inches of the shifter cut off.

Shifts are reduced by over 40%. The longest thow (1st to 2nd) is 2.1". The only shifter you'll ever need. And everyone has the part required to make it. So make it!

 

i like the cc ss

 

^^ Awesome!!!! I will def. do this

 

This is B&M with supplied bushings installed.

 

I installed my short shifter about 2000 miles ago..will I ever need to go back in and re-lube the ball piece on the shifter?

 

You shouldnt if you lubed it good and with the right lube when you installed it

 

Anyone know if you can put a TWM perfomance shift **** (like the M1 Abram) on a CC shortshifter? I like the TWM stage 2 but I worry its going to be too short, thanks for the reply

 

I have a Doc I custom SS. It's freakin' bueno. Much shorter than TWM. I wonder what the Perrin is like..

Ehy doc. Ever think about shortnening a TWM shifter? Just a thought..as that ran through my head while I packaged up my TWM.

 

^^^yea man i just installed mine today, i love it, but it takes awhile to get used to...

some pics

 

What Short shifter is that? The pivot seems to have moved about .5". I think mine was moved around 1.5". I should have taken pictures. Damnit.

Nice rims.

 

It's one of mine. Standardized GearSwitcher throw reduction (50%) and height reduction (2"). ALaS, yours is a specialty piece-- I'll likely not make another like it.

 

SCORE!

 

Just installed my CC shifter, flippin amazing! It locks right into place, very stiff...no more slippin on the gears! It was a fun install, kinda hard but none the less WORTH the money!

 

I have read through 13 pages and I still don't know what to pick.
TRD - same height but shorter throw, but then i want shorter height too.
TWM SS 2 - I want this because it has a shorter height and a shorter throw, but I read about the 1-2 grinding which is scaring me. I also got the 10% studen discount from it.
ARK - I haven't heard much from people talking about it. But it comes with a ****. The height doesn't change much but it has shorter throws.
CC- This one is comparable to the TWM but I read in another thread about the tranny ripping it out and the price scares me. I am scared about the quality of it.
B&M- The height is shorter but no difference. I do not like.

Someone please help me lol

 

which shifter is that?
