I have the twm ss and it's not as bad as you think the interior pieces fit together like leggos and doest take that long to install. I myself have no mechanical experience and I did it myself in about 2 hrs. But it was well worth the extra effort. The twm is way better than stock check my build for pics and more info.

Yea it depends on you. I really enjoyed my trd quickshifter. It does what it says, and it reduces the throw. The twm, and trd quickshifter utilizes the same function, but in different ways.

I will post a video up soon. It took will take between 15-30mins to install depending on your experience. I did a comparison, and decided to go with the trd quickshifter as soon as it came out. I'm to cheap anyhow.

You have to use the twm shift **** with the twm unit. With the trd one, you have more options since you are not changing the shifter assembly with the trd unit. Not that twm doesn't have any, just really expensive. But "you have to pay, to play."

Yay.. My old video of the trd quickshifter, more to come...

Whats going on scratch lol. I am finally deciding to get back and join the tC2 community again. I still plan to get another tC2, just waiting on a great deal, and hopefully my local scion dealer will bring have the $1000 accessories deal around December so I can get on by then...

Not sure if I want to get a RS7.0(as I wanted) or the base tC2 lol. Not going to get MGM again for sure.

Sounds good man, if things go the way I want to today, I may just be leaving the tC2 area (still rockin the toaster tho, even though the xB1 area is deadsville) if I get the deal I am after. Already stripped out my tC back to stock and selling gear in the classifieds.

You seemed pretty set on the RS7 before, not feeling the Jr. Bumblebee anymore?
