So what exactly does the gold thing do/where does it mount?

I don't have it yet. I assume it attaches to the bottom of your shifter where your cable attaches. It makes your stock shifter have a shorter throw.

Ohh, that makes sense now. You cut off the bottom and clamp this on. I think I will have to buy this depending on how you guys like it. I might cut the top of the shifter shorter too and if I dont like it then i'll just buy a hurst.

It looke like you cut off the bottom of your actual shifter and this bolts in its place to make the shifter shorter, the twm clamp replaces the cable clamp.

Get the whole TWM kit (shifter, knob, cable and bushings). Yeah it's a bit pricey but man does it feel good. You will feel like you're driving a different, better quality car.

Even with just bushings and the clamp its a helluvalot better. My cable clamp broke 4 times so i got tired and said screw it and bought it. No problems so far. The bushings greatly, if not completely, eliminate the slop and the shifter feels smoother and more notchy (if that makes sense).

Ill get a pic of the cable clamp installed for you guys.

That mods it, guess I will have to see if it will still shift right with the whole thing off. I don't want to hide it, i just want it gone.
