Default Which shortshifter should I chooose?

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% student 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!!!

I would recommend the TWM Stage 2. The throws are pretty short and the height is adjustable to your liking (with my TWM Bombshell ****). I'm not too sure about the 1-2 grinding you're talking about though.

B&M is about the stock height but throws are reduced significantly. If youre into short throws with short height, get TWM or CC. But TWM along with ARK are on the pricey side.
It's ultimately what you want for the price and from the short shifter. They all pretty much do the same.... some are built a little different.

No just push in the clutch! It works fine for me. Somtimes I will get excited and try to shift without pushin the clutch in all the way and we all know what that does.
But TWM Stage 2 works great and works well with the leather TRD shift noob. Then you will not need another shift boot cause that noob fits perfect. it is a bit shorter then the original noob.

cheers to me for bein the only one to vote for ARK

height is somewhat shoter at the top, reduction is between 20% - 35% depending on the gear.
downside is the price, I believe its significantly more expensive than the others.

Does anyone have prices??? I know where the search button is, but I'm too lazy. Actually I'm just groggy since I just got home from having a partial thyroidectomy about 25 hours ago.

Oh, thanks for the link for the TWM. You said "Thank god. Cause he even said it was a bitc*!!!!! "

I saw mandos did a DIY for (CC?) and it looked like a hassle.

I think CC is around $70-$80
B&M is around $100-$130 depending on the place.... and it comes with base bushings.
