twm shift knobs are expensive. if you're going to spend that much on a knob you should have just gone all out and bought the twm shifter as well. i have one and i love it.

I spoke with twm before, the shifter will work but there will be slight modification needed, not exactly the same as theirs.

Do everything in the TWM manual except the cutting part.

If you dont have to do any cutting its not likely to actually shorten your shift throws a great deal.

The reason you have to cut on the TWM is because the shift control rods are longer. Longer rods with the same pivot point is what shortens the throw on the TWM.

I wish TWM made a stock height shifter. I dont want my stick shorter.
