CDN dollar is stronger than the USD right now...and it's USD btw :).

For those of you wanting a more in-depth description of the benefits of our short shifter, here's a copy/paste of a post I did in another thread:

Our unit has a couple of advantages. First of all, we've been in the Short Shifter business for over 10 years, and we've NEVER engineered a Side-to-Side throw reduction on a Short Shifter for the simple reason that it causes miss-shifts. When you're used to moving over 2 inches to grab 4th gear from 5th, you don't want to end up in 2nd on an aggressive down shift by accident. So we stay away from Side-to-Side reductions simply because it's the industry standard for safety and quality.

As for the justification of the extra $ over the competition, bottom line is that you're getting TWM Performance Quality which is unparalleled in terms of fit, finish, and functionality. More specifically, our Cable connections have tighter tolerances than any other short shifter on the market which makes for a tighter, more precise, and accurate Shifter feel inside the cabin. In addition all of our products are guaranteed for life.

Finally, for reasons that are beyond our understanding, most other competitor's Short Shifter designs on the market decide to completely ignore any form of counterweight. This makes for a notchy, mechanical feel. The TWM Performance Short Shifter not only has a counterweight built into it (like the OEM unit), but the weight is adjustable so that you can customize the feel of your short shifter. If you want to run no counterweights to get a mechanical feel and notchier feel, you can; and if you want a butter smooth shift feel, simply adjust the weight to the highest setting...and you can do anything in between.

Hope this answers your questions, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Also it's important to note that throw reduction is but one of the many benefits that you get with a Short Shifter. Almost anyone can reduce the throws on a OEM shifter as it simply involves relocation the shifter cables. The difficult part, and the MAIN benefit of a Short Shifter set-up is the improved FEEL that you get from the modification. This is much more difficult to achieve, and even more so to perfect. It involves having carefully CNC machined parts with strict tolerances, and stiffer bushing and pivot connections (that will still allow for vibration, and movement).

The link to the installation instructions for the MKVI from your order page is broken. Any chance to get a working link to the installation instruction?

We actually haven't finished the install manual yet which is why the link isn't working :(...having said that, its an EXTREMELY easy install. If you can remove your intake, you can do this install.

It looks like a nice kit and I have had a TWM short shifter on a previous car (2000 celica gt-s) that I was very impressed with but the price ($250) is just too expensive IMO for the benefits that this product is providing over the stock shifter, even if it is perfect or the best.

looks like a copy of diesel geeks plus 50/80 bucks for a counterweight...but i know theirs is worth the money, so i am sure this is a great kit too

Not a copy by any means...If you take a look at their design and ours, it's very different. Obviously the basic shape will be similar because both parts need to fit the same car, but we do not make copies of ANY product and never will. It's a 100% new design with new features and technology.
