Do you have a twm short shifter? Otherwise I don't think it will fit. That's how I got mine. Someone bought it I think they needed the short shifter so they sold it.

OMG seriously. I mean I wouldnt mind the short shifter but that is kinda silly. I just got mine this past weekend. I got it set up so I can still go into reverse but seems almost not right

I spoke with a TWM rep about this, since I tried to order a hybrid weighted shift ****. Told me that the only one compatible with the OEM reverse shift lock is the M1 Abrams, since the OEM is oversized compared to most other cars' RL. Their short shifter RL sleeve is closer to other cars' lock out.
I already have the Supertek short shifter installed in mine already, no need for TWM's version.

I have both😃 super short shifts! Start with the supertek. Pretty easy install once you figure out the instructions. Then get the twm if you need more. Then get shifter cable bushings. Base cable bushings come with twm's short shifter

Totally love it. It definitely is a better feel, especially with the aftermarket bushings installed on cable and shifter cage.

Like what was already said, the Supertek easy cheap AND easy to install, once you figure out the instructions. Great mod for so little time invested into the installation process.

I have a Big Type R I had back with my 05 XRS and it won't fit too. I spoked directly with them at their shop, showed them my **** and they said the same thing. They said to try to sell it, but it's been a month now and I got absolutely no offers for it lol

Put the for sale link in your signature, I found that helps a ton. Also don't lose hope, that is the same shift **** I have and it was like 150 to buy it through TWM, I got mine from someone who couldn't use it or like 70 and it was a steal.
