How do you like your TWMp STS&KNOB

Im just curious as to how pleased everybody is with theirs, and how much lower the shifter will sit.

let me know how you like yours, what knob you chose & color and how you like the feel of it.

Im thinking about eventually getting one and was wondering about everyones experience with them and how they like them

Pics would be fantastic, show them off!


This can benefit everybody and sorry if their is already a thread which their probably is.. hehe

Thanks!!

I had the TWM Big Type R knob

Best one I think it's real heavy too makes the shifts effortless

best mod ive done that doesn't involve speed. its so smooth you can change gears with your pinky lol
i got the upgraded bushings and a silver knob with the numbers on it even though i dont look at it.
all in all i love it and i would buy another one if i had two balts.

haha why the hell would you do that to your shifter! rofl lol but i like it although that bigger typr r shifter seems like its almost too big and would defeat the purpose of the sts ? nice tho!

it was designed for our car so it comes with its own reverse lockout and everything works better than stock imo.
everything you need comes with the kit, when you order, call them and let them kno you want the upgraded bushings; it makes a world of difference.

I put the Hurst shifter in and that is nice too. I was going to mention that the big draw back to the metal ball is that it gets really cold during winter and nice and hot during summer.

That is the only problem with any of these with a metal knob. Mine wears my glove after the car gets warm.

That is true. I would hate it in the winter. Also, my interior gets steaming hot as it is already being all black. Blows.
