Default Product development for the 2011 tC coming soon at TWM Performance!

Hello everyone,

Most of you guys probably know us for our extremely popular Scion short shifters and our line up of weighted shift *****. Well, we have great news for the owners of the new 2011 Scion tC!

We will start looking at the 2011 Scion tC by the end of the year for short shifter, shift ***** and shifter bushings development! Considering the 2011 tC is completely different than the first generation, we will need to design brand new products for the 2011. As always, we will strive to offer our customers the best products on the market for their cars and as soon as possible.

Stay tuned to our site and here on the forums for all the updates on our work for the 2011 tC!

Thanks,

Frank

Welcome guys!

Glad the measurements I sent you for the shift **** are working out. Looking forward to getting something new!

When do you think an actual product will land? I understand development will start at the end of the year but how long does it generally take from production to actually being on sale?

Is your avatar a picture of a tC2's shift ****? That looks like our Reverse lock collar under the ball.

It looks very similar, but it's a TWM 04-07 STi short shifter with our TWM Performance M1 Abrams shift **** in Flat Black! We will have the same type of shift **** available for the 2011 tC very soon

I was looking on your site and saw an option for a black pearl color, but did not see any photos. Did I overlook the photo or can you provide one so that I can see how it looks.

Here is a picture of our Piston shift **** in the Black Pearl finish:



We're currently working on upgrading our shift **** site to include more pictures of all the different finishes we offer!

Thanks,

Well, it arrived (overnight I might add!)

No need to test fit guys, I'll save you the trouble; it fits! The measurements were bang on!

Now to do the install, you have to use the height adjuster set screw which is included with the kit. So, obviously, first remove the stock shift **** simply by unthreading counter-clockwise. Then, install the height adjuster set screw all the way to the bottom of the threads. When it stops and can't thread any further, that's perfect. Next, install the threaded aluminum insert on until it too bottoms out. There is no need to really tighten either of these down as threading the shift **** on will tighten them enough (unless you have it engraved, in which case you'll need to use the set screw to set the logo straight.

After all that is done, you should have this:



Now thread the **** on.

...and, TA DA:



All installed!

I was torn between the satin and stainless, but the satin matches the satin silvers in the car quite well. I highly recommend it.

Thanks to TWM for getting it out so quickly! Supremely impressed with the product and the service!

This is just a shift **** install, correct? Shifter height still looks stock.

Looking great! It was the perfect choice in the end to go with the satin finish ;)

We're having a test car this week to start measurements for the short shifter and bushings, we'll keep all of you updated here on the forum!
