Default B&M or TWM Short Throw Shifter???

A shifter, I decided, will be one of the first mods I do to my xB, since I cant seem to drive like a normal person. After some research, I've narrowed it to these two. Which is Better? Both are now available with metal bushings, and Im not really worried about price b/c both are available for under 150 on the high end. Also, any input on clutches would also be nice. Thanx.

I would say TRD as well. It doesent actually lower the height of the shift lever making it much more comfotable than say the twm imo

The B&M doesn't change the height as well....

Makes the @#$#%* gear box, feel less @#$#%* .

I've had the twm for a few months now and i love it. More comfortable IMO. I'm also more sure of my shifts. It makes it more... notchier I guess would be the word.

Skip the TRD clutch though. The price is WAY too high for what you get. I would look into other reputable aftermarket brands.

you don't get a TRD clutch, you get a different pressure plate giving the pedal different feel. the clutch is still the same lousy stock organic one.
